    book was ok
    This book was just ok maybe a little boring. It made a few interesting points.
    too superficial
    the entire book is a repetion of the idea "innovation and creativity is a result of supportive culture in which collaboration is mixed with some competition and innovators enjoy good social image and rewards". There is nothing new about this. The book does not provide concrete examples at all. So it is just a fluffy conceptual piece of writing.

    Members Reviews:
    Good book but performance is lacking.
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
    This is a good book if all it does it change your perspective and cause you to rethink your questions before you ask them.
    How did the narrator detract from the book?
    The narrator sounds like a computer generated voice. I found it almost intolerable.
    Decent book, horrible narration
    Would you consider the audio edition of Power Questions to be better than the print version?
    No, absolutely not. The content is decent and can be inspiring, but the narration by one of the authors is so horribly bad that I just stopped listening and never finished the book. I went out and got the print version instead. Another problem with the audiobook is the lack of an index of all the questions.
    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
    I never reached the ending.
    What didnt you like about Andrew Sobel and Jerold Panas s performance?
    One of them (I don't know which) was OK, the other was terrible, in fact so bad that I stopped the audiobook.
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    No. Its structure (many chapters, each on a separate 'power question') means it's best enjoyed in little bites.
    A Good Listen...Worth Two (Or More)
    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    There are definitely some thought provoking questions here that could help someone truly stand out in a personal or professional setting. The stories add interest and context to the questions, and often left me asking questions of my own.
    I will definitely be giving this audiobook another listen (or two) to help the information sink in.
    Any additional comments?
    While I like the fact that the two authors alternate narrating chapters of the book, one of the authors reminds me a bit of Tommy Chong, which is a bit distracting at times.
    Also, it would be nice to have a PDF reference sheet of all the questions to review now and then, rather than having to stop what you're doing and write them down. I started to write them down, and then I realized I had missed questions because I was too engrossed in the stories.
    Loved this book
    I loved this book because it explores a subject that is not covered by many text books. I learned a leadership skill (leading by questions puts you in control of the conversation).

    Revived and Focused at work.
    What did you love best about Getting Ahead?
    The specific tasks assigned by each section.
    What about Christopher Hurts performance did you like?
    The narrator did a great job of letting me hear the story, instead of hearing a person talking to me. When you do not even think about the reader, that is a very good narration!
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    Yes and No. I did not want to stop at any point, but found it best for me to break it into concept sections and ruminate upon (and put into practice) what I learned.
    Any additional comments?
    I had been experiencing a professional doldrums for a couple of years, but I am again focused and zealous with this ambition-injection (i.e. some oxygen to my professional coals). This book is a valid, sustainable process for "getting ahead" at work. I am already benefitting from it. Whether you need energizing or need a how-to for getting ahead, this will do it for you.
    Okay, but nothing sensational, bad audiobook
    okay info, would rather have a copy for notes. I think there are some good tips and strategies to implement, but I recommend buying the book to be able to review easier.
    A great addition in the tool box of coaching
    Would you listen to Getting Ahead again? Why?
    Excellent practical tips for an aspiring coach.
    What was one of the most memorable moments of Getting Ahead?
    I enjoyed the whole book. Nothing specific
    What about Christopher Hurts performance did you like?
    Very clear and articulate
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    No. I like to listen at my own pace so that there is time to reflect

    Title: Teaming
    Subtitle: How Organizations Learn, Innovate, and Compete in the Knowledge Economy
    Author: Amy C. Edmondson
    Narrator: Vanessa Hart
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 10 hrs and 36 mins
    Language: English
    Release date: 09-20-12
    Publisher: Audible Studios
    Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 41 votes
    Genres: Business, Career Skills
    Publisher's Summary:
    New breakthrough thinking in organizational learning, leadership, and change.
    Continuous improvement, understanding complex systems, and promoting innovation are all part of the landscape of learning challenges today's companies face. Amy Edmondson shows that organizations thrive, or fail to thrive, based on how well the small groups within those organizations work. In most organizations, the work that produces value for customers is carried out by teams, and increasingly, by flexible team-like entities. The pace of change and the fluidity of most work structures means that it's not really about creating effective teams anymore, but instead about leading effective teaming.
    Teaming shows that organizations learn when the flexible, fluid collaborations they encompass are able to learn. The problem is teams, and other dynamic groups, don't learn naturally. Edmondson outlines the factors that prevent them from doing so, such as interpersonal fear, irrational beliefs about failure, groupthink, problematic power dynamics, and information hoarding. With Teaming, leaders can shape these factors by encouraging reflection, creating psychological safety, and overcoming defensive interpersonal dynamics that inhibit the sharing of ideas. Further, they can use practical management strategies to help organizations realize the benefits inherent in both success and failure.
    Based on years of research, this book shows how leaders can make organizational learning happen by building teams that learn.
    Members Reviews:
    Important content, very difficult to listen to.
    I am a big fan of Edmondson's work, so this negative review is mainly for the narration. The narrator had many unusual speech mannerisms, such as inserting "um" before many syllables you're pronouncing words in atypical ways. Her voice also often became quite hoarse and gravelly, and was difficult to understand except when plugged into speakers. I found myself struggling to understand the narration so often that I frequently lost track of the content, and had to repeat portions of the book. Unfortunately I therefore cannot recommend this particular recording.
    great book, bad narration
    The content was excellent. Maybe a little too rich for an audiobook though. Also the narration was really distracting.
    Lots of pausing between words and starting every word off with an mmm sound.
    No Breakthrough Here
    A reductionist approach to systems thinking just doesn't work. Pretty much all of the ideas in the book are spot on, but they are not necessarily new or presented in a new way. The stilted prose is too clinical to really allow you to connect to the material on an emotional level. The Storytelling of the author was too emotionally distant to really be compelling.
    Worth the read
    This is my second reading of this book. I realized several pages in that I'd read it before, but had no alternative available. A few chapters in and I realized that on second read, I was picking up on ideas is missed the forest time around. There is arguably little new or novel in this book when contrasted to the multitude of books on teams and learning organizations, but this is one of the first on the subjects that I'd recommend.

    Think Different!
    "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
    They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
    This book made it to the number 1 Business spot in my humble library (just a few hundreds deep).
    Great thoough work Mr. Morgan! Top notch research and critical thinking.
    I strongly recommend this to any entrepreneur, new or old.
    Enough said.
    Amazing book for any marketing professional
    This book reminds us all of the importance of challenging the status quo in business
    Interesting, but appallingly badly read.
    What did you like best about Eating the Big Fish? What did you like least?
    An interesting perspective on marketing, or so it seemed. But I couldn't get beyond the first section (4 chapters), so I cannot say that for sure.
    Worst: the narrator is abysmal. I've listened to quite a few audio books now, but never been prompted to write a review. And I'm sorry it's a negative one, but I felt I had to warn people.
    1: He displays a shocking lack of understanding of what he is reading: "Equally innocent is a company in the UK...". The author doesn't mean that this company is just as innocent as others - the company is CALLED Innocent! As the narrator would know if he'd even read one chapter further on! So it should be "Equally, 'Innocent' is a company in the UK..."
    2: He mangles many many pronunciations. Some are foreign (albeit common) phrases (such as laissez faire - not sure if that's an actual example, but it's the kind of thing) and others not - my jaw dropped at hearing him pronounce the island of Mauritius not as "Morishus" but as Maur-eet-e-us.
    I can listen no more.
    Would you recommend Eating the Big Fish to your friends? Why or why not?
    Maybe in print. Not as an audio book.
    How could the performance have been better?
    Reading the book through before performing it. Gaining some form of education.
    Could you see Eating the Big Fish being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
    N/A
    Any additional comments?
    No.
    Very hard to listen to.
    Something about the delivery of this is like listening to a robot. Impossible to engage. Am going to read it instead.

    Cliche
    A didn't find any real nuggets of information in here or find the book particularly engaging. "Find ambitious people" is the main theme. The rest is fluff.
    Great book
    I m not a regular reader but someone recommended this so I gave it a shot. But I am glad i get a chance to gain all the knowledge about business teams and structures.
    Worth Reading
    This is worth a read for those interested in team performance and management. The author uses the case study method of getting his main points across, which I found useful from a practical standpoint, yet distracting as I couldn't really relate to the specific case situations. Overall some good tips that I can use on a daily basis.
    Great Business Teams is a great read!
    Books have been written about breaking virtually every code imaginable from The Bible Code to The DaVinci Code. However, none of those books hold the promise of helping your organization crack the code to breakout performance - but Howard Guttman's Great Business Teams does! Guttman's premise is that great organizations are comprised of great teams, and regardless of the size or type of the organization, each of those teams operate via a code. The code is the key to maximize performance. Guttman identifies that code as the "horizontal organization" or a cultural construct that helps streamline decisions; champions collaboration; values individual accountability and teamwork; fosters speedy conflict resolution and rewards results. Make no mistake, this book is not a theoretical exercise written by some stuffy academician. The author distills his decades of experience as a business consultant into digestible, real-world examples of the horizontal model already in action across several of the world's most successful companies. He also explains what it takes to get there. While cracking Guttman's code may not be a panacea for every competitive need a company may have, it can help an organization deliver exceptional performance within a fierce marketplace, which is why Soundview highly recommends this book.

    Helped with my First Franchise Offer
    What did you love best about Become a Franchise Owner!?
    There was a good amount of stuff that I had to get through to obtain information that I needed. It did broaden my knowledge base on what questions to ask when buying a franchise as well as information I could pull from when obtaining my SBA Loan.
    A must if your franchising
    A very interesting book that will give you an excellent Insight if you are planning to buy a franchise.
    it will guide you through what to do and what not to do and how to approach brokers and Consultants in a professional way.
    it
    Not bad for basic
    This beginner guide to considering a franchise was a pretty good read it to get the basics down of what to think about and how to methodically approach franchise ventures. The constant plugging of other marketers was really annoying though
    Painful
    What would have made Become a Franchise Owner! better?
    The author made listening to this book more painful than owning a franchise could ever be... or maybe that was his objective. If getting through this audiobook was a true test of my ability to own a franchise, I failed miserably. The author has about 3 hours of introduction, and in that three hours, I think I obtained 2.5 mins of actual concrete information on franchise ownership. This book is filled with half a dozen hypothetical personal stories (yes, i know, i said the same thing) and approximatly zero cold hard facts. To top it off, the author's method of speaking to his audience is belittling, obnoxious and completely self righteous. I just couldn't take it anymore, I had to cut the cord after 4 hours of listing to useless antidotes and circling around the objective at hand, which was, just in case the author is reading this: To inform his audience on how to be a successful franchise owner! If I was the author, this book would have a 2 minute introduction and then jump into the facts, which should consist of: industry terms (jargon) used in by franchisers and franchise lawyers, and what do they mean? What does it mean to be a potential franchisee? When should you start preparing yourself for obtaining a franchise (6 months, 12 months, 24 months before the doors actually open), What steps should one take in order to prepare for being a franchisee (in numerical order)? What can be found in those contracts they give you? What are your options for an early escape if you decide you want to quit? How to make it to your ten year agreement when times get hard.

    Genres: Business, Career Skills
    Publisher's Summary:
    Career Diplomacy - now in its second edition - is an insider's guide that examines the foreign service as an institution, a profession, and a career. Harry W. Kopp and Charles A. Gillespie, both of whom had long and distinguished careers in the foreign service, provide a full and well-rounded picture of the organization, its place in history, its strengths and weaknesses, and its role in American foreign affairs. Based on their own experiences and through interviews with over 100 current and former foreign service officers and specialists, the authors lay out what to expect in a foreign service career, from the entrance exam through midcareer and into the senior service - how the service works on paper, and in practice.
    The second edition addresses major changes that have occurred since 2007: the controversial effort to build an expeditionary foreign service to lead the work of stabilization and reconstruction in fragile states; deepening cooperation with the U.S. military and the changing role of the service in Iraq and Afghanistan; the ongoing surge in foreign service recruitment and hiring at the Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development; and the growing integration of USAID's budget and mission with those of the Department of State.
    The book is published by Georgetown University Press.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Rare are the books that can appeal to several audiences, but Career Diplomacy is one of them.... this volume should be of interest to the general reading public, aspiring diplomats and practicing FSOs alike." (Foreign Service Journal)
    "As an introduction to the profession for the layperson or for anyone considering a commitment to the Foreign Service career the book is authoritative, complete and indispensable. For the rest of us, it's a delight, a stylishly told reminder of who we are, what we do and where we may be heading." (American Diplomacy)
    "Career Diplomacy is the best description of life in the foreign service - its challenges, dangers, satisfactions, and fun - I have ever seen." (Lawrence S. Eagleburger, former US Secretary of State)
    Members Reviews:
    Wonderful read for those interested in the FS
    Great comprehensive book on the U.S. foreign service. The book reveals powerful insight into a complicated organization and offers great perspective.
    A Great Overview of Foreign Service
    This book gave great insight into many of the aspects of foreign service. Though interesting, some parts become a little boring. The speaker's tone abd pace helped a lot with these portions.

    Publisher's Summary:
    What motivates employees? As a manager, you need to know why people come to work every day, what makes them stay - and what drives them to perform at their best. According to Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, the best leaders are able to build a cadre of employees who have satisfying inner work lives: consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. To do this, you must create forward momentum in meaningful work - and steer clear of the obstacles that undermine inner work life.
    Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by hundreds of employees in several different organizations, Amabile and Kramer explain how you can foster progress and enhance your peoples inner work life every day - in the process boosting long-term creative productivity. The book shows how you can remove common barriers to progress, such as meaningless tasks and toxic relationships, and emphasizes how these factors can disrupt employees inner work lives.
    The Progress Principle also explains how you can activate two forces that enable progress: catalysts - events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy; and nourishers - interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality.
    Filled with honest, real-life examples, compelling insights, and practical advice, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the guidance they need to maximize peoples performance.

    Soft skills do translate into hard dollars!
    I would recommend this to anyone looking for ways to improve their team's (or even their own) performance. The first step to getting the ball rolling in maximizing performance and creativity is to recognize that there is an important metric to keep track of your "inner work life". This is essentially the song that you hear in your head as you think about your work and those you work with that amplifies or attenuates performance and creativity levels. In addition to the explanations of the methodology and descriptions of the work environments surveyed, there is some really practical advice for motivating your team and yourself to perform at the highest levels possible.
    A Must For Any Leader
    This book was a game-changer for me. Providing scientific validation to my instincts & a roadmap for best practices. Highly recommended!
    should have read, not listened to, this one
    An interesting topic that was presented rather dryly with repeated statements. I think reading the book would have been better than trying to listen to it. consistent reference to the research process and frequent in the next chapter comments.
    Serve others and Win at Inner Work
    I found The Progress Principle to be profound in its insights to Managing/ Leading People, through a rich understanding development of Inner Work. I think this book is a must read for anyone who works or lives with people. Read the book. Better yet, Audible the book and have it read to you!!
    Powerful and Educational
    It was great be reminded of the importance of positive reinforcements during the work day.
