Publisher's Summary:

This is a summary of Marcus Buckingham's First Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently

With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-listen for managers at every level. The greatest managers in the world seem to have little in common. They differ in sex, age, and race. They employ vastly different styles and focus on different goals. Yet, despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They consistently disregard the golden rule. And, yes, they even play favorites.

This amazing book explains why. Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide variety of situations. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies; others were key players in small entrepreneurial companies. Whatever their situations, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup's research were invariably those who excelled at turning each employee's talent into performance. In today's tight labor markets, companies compete to find and keep the best employees, using pay, benefits, promotions, and training. But these well-intentioned efforts often miss the mark. The front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. No matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company that lacks great front-line managers will suffer.

Members Reviews:

Excellent Management book.

This is an excellent work. It will help me significantly, daily in my managerial position.

Great summary, easy to follow

Good crash course in the full book to evaluate interest. The reader does a good job of explaining shortened principles, and defining often unknown or new ones in the book. Bullet point and numbered lists short enough for a person to gather the gist. Looking forward to reading the full version!

"Most companies offer a product or service that could be obtained elsewhere, and the reason a prospect will choose you often comes down to how you tell your story.

Members Reviews:

Not my thing

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As for the content of the book, I would say it is good for someone looking to improve or renew their business through purpose driven marketing and brand identity. I am not an entrepreneur, but I am familiar with and help several of them and I feel that they could certainly gain a lot from Thai book.

That said, the narration is dull. The narrator actually sounds like an automated voice from an older Mac computer in places. I had to check to make sure the narrator was listed as an actual human on several occasions.

I would recommend this book to budding entrepreneurs or small business owners who want a fresh look at their business, but I'd absolutely recommend getting it in print instead of audio.

Well written and great information for a new entre

If you could sum up Brand Identity Breakthrough in three words, what would they be?

FULL DISCLOSURE: My copy of this book was provided by the author for my review.

I must start off by saying I rarely if ever give five star reviews because I read so many books. Which is also unfair when an author sends me their book to read and review, hoping for a five star review. The four star review here is excellent in my opinion five stars is "shut the front door" everybody must read this book!

If this is your first book and glimpse into brand marketing, this book will give you so much to work on and so many great ideas! There was nothing in here that was earth shattering and brand-new for me but great material nonetheless.

Title: 101 Job Interview Questions You'll Never Fear Again

Author: James Reed

Narrator: John Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-03-16

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Learn the secrets to excelling at job interviews, directly from top interviewers and recruiters.

You can't prepare an answer for every interview question. So, of the thousands of questions potential employers might ask, which ones will they ask? And what should you say?

After extensive research among hundreds of interviewers and thousands of interviewees, finally here's the book that will give you the answer.

101 Job Interview Questions You'll Never Fear Again is based on direct input from top interviewers. It offers powerful preparation techniques, the lowdown on how to answer the most common questions, and - above all - how to adopt a winning mind-set at interviews, one that will help you stand out from the pack and land the job.

From classic questions like "tell me about yourself" and "what are your greatest weaknesses?" to puzzlers like "sell me this pen" and "how many traffic lights are there in New York?", James Reed reveals what interviewers are really asking and gives you the best possible answers.

Members Reviews:

Deep understanding of the job interview and prep

The main thing is the author reduced the job interview, all possible permutations of it, to just fifteen questions. He shows how any interviewee can certainly stick to fifteen prepared responses, no matter how the interviewer presents questions.

Narration was excellent, in my opinion. Yes there were brief times when the material got tedious but the narrator soldiered on and got through each event. 80% of the book was interesting and fresh, I think. Solid, probably great performance.

The author explained one time briefly but authoritatively how he came to understand the interview process and promised he wouldn't revisit his bona fides - he didn't. Also, he didn't try to market himself. If he had, no way I would 5-star this review. By the way, he completely convinced me that he's one of the very top experts when it comes to job interviews. He should put his experiences on an author page.

Reasons were given why the preparation of an interviewee response set is too unique to the individual for expert to offer anything other than general guidelines. The listener is made to understand there's no substitute for examining one's own life to find meaning in it that can be expressed. Nobody can tell you or me how to answer all fifteen question types. No miracles claimed here.

There were so many guidelines in this book as anybody can imagine. For instance, the author explains the futility of trying to trick the interviewer or manipulate the meeting. The people doing the interviewing have usually done a whole lot of it and one learns certain things doing what they do. It's very risky to do anything other than play it straight.

I don't know why there weren't already at least a couple hundred reviews. Seems it could be over a thousand. I think it's a hot book. Not warm, I mean hot.

Motivating

It is a quite Motivating book. The laws make you think a lot.

Maybe there are too many ordinary anecdotes And some of The exercises of The printed version are missing, but it is useful.

Great information

This is the first book with Dan Sullivan that Ive listen to. Definitely worth the time.

Title: Summary of The 48 Laws of Power: by Robert Greene | Includes Analysis

Narrator: Michael Gilboe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-12-16

Publisher: Instaread

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 72 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Preview:

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is a self-help book offering advice on how to gain and maintain power, using lessons drawn from parables and the experiences of historical figures.

Power depends on the relationships between a person and those he or she seeks to control. Powerful people must cultivate their appearances to earn respect and eliminate doubt. They must practice selective honesty, misdirection, and an excess of secrecy to gain a tactical advantage. Timing is central to maintaining power, as is the ability to adapt. The array of strategies available when seeking power include mirroring the opponent's actions and controlling the opponent's options for action. The powerful must also cultivate a relationship with audiences by creating spectacles and feeding their need to believe in the impossible.

PLEASE NOTE: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.

Save your $3.95....read the original.

What disappointed you about Summary of The 48 Laws of Power: by Robert Greene | Includes Analysis?

This is s cliff note version of the book. You wont understand WHY to use any particular law....

Very sexist,bias and inaccurate summary

First of all, the actual book tells its readers to look down on dying for a cause, not to die for a cause. The book makes many references to women good and bad who achieved their goals. Actually read the book, instead of skimming the pages

don't waste your time.

Listening to this overview does zero justice to the book. Also, the narrator does shameless plugs to their website to try and get you to buy more of their audio files independent of Audible.com It's classless and tasteless in my opinion. Don't waste your time or money with this garbage.

The 48 Laws of Power looks down on martyrs.

Robert Greene doesn't promote martyrdom. Instaread states that he promotes martyrdom as an option. Not accurate.

wow

Wow thanks Knowledge is power ,I can't wait to hear more .Its waiting on me.

Title: A Guide to Making It in Real Estate

Author: James R. Carter

Narrator: James R. Carter

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-20-15

Publisher: James R. Carter

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 95 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Written specifically for real estate lenders and real estate agents by someone who has had phenomenal success in both professions, A Guide to Making It in Real Estate stands out from the crowd for its clarity, simplicity, and humor.

Whether you call yourself a "lender," a "real estate agent," or a "commercial professional," author James R. Carter points out that you are essentially the CEO of your own small business - as well as the VP of marketing, VP of operations, VP of finance, "Director of Attitude," and lead sales representative. That's six hats. You are responsible for 100 percent of your success, and in order to thrive, you need to be strong at four essential areas: finding deals, doing deals, managing money, and keeping your head straight (marketing, operations, finance and attitude).

Carter offers insight and advice that lenders, real estate agents, and anyone interested in the real estate business will likely find useful - whether you're just getting started or simply need inspiration. In fact, the principles outlined in this audiobook make it an excellent resource for any type of small business owner.

Members Reviews:

Save your hearing, and your time.

Any additional comments?

Yes, he played football. So did his dad, and his coach, and his friends. He uses football examples. This book does not have any practical information, or real life real estate examples. There is nothing new in this book that most people, with basic common sense, do not already know. His main message is, put in the work and effort needed to be a real estate agent. But, he provides no real life examples, except those about football, and how those with a sports background, are just great in real estate.

Chapter 68 (71 in the audible version) Taxes. Paying your taxes, keeps you out of jail. Pay your taxes. Go get um!

He offers nothing of value. Also, he ends each chapter by saying, Go get um.

Save your hearing, and your time.

2nd listen before review

Definitely a good book with lots of nuggets.

Maybe too many quotes. I see alot of authors add a bunch of inspirational quotes that Ive seen on my social media timelines quite frequently.

I was hoping for more useful info

the read was fine it flowed well and the author seems very likeable. however the book seems very amateurish. I guess for the person that's just starting in real estate it could be helpful but many of the ideas are things that you don't need to buy a book for like setting goals. I was hoping for more hardcore details for a veteran real estate broker or agent. I can't not the book though because I feel like it was well written what I'd say don't waste your money if you're looking for something that you probably haven't heard.

Top shelf

What a great listen! Good combo of mindset and mentor! I will listen to this a few times.

New Agent

This was really good information with scenarios. Really liked lender/agent perspective. It is a great book.

my brain is on overload

this book has a lot of actionable information unlike most of the books I've read that are a lot of personal motivation. I will definitely you listen to this book over and over and use it as a resource in running my new business

it's like they forgot to edit it....

lots of re-reads of the same lines. it's pretty annoying. I think they got about half way thru editing and said "meh, that's good enough." lots of good information ... not disappointed I bought it. they should fire who ever approved this to be published. sad.

Outstanding

Love this book! it's very helpful and powerful. I can't wait to implement the lessons to my business and take it to the next level.

A must read for any business leader or entrepreneur

This book is full of practical ways to improve your business. I have read tons of business books I have to say this is in my top 5 business books of all time!!!

I am looking for to more books by this author. Read it you will not be disappointed!!

Too much repetition!

There were some good tips in amongst all the repetitive phrases and points. Seriously, is it really necessary to say the same things every 5 minutes or less? This book is over 7 hours long but could be at least halved if the duplicated stuff was omitted. I really struggled to finish this book, which is a shame because most of the concepts and tips were good.
