Good overview of how connected systems help to surface defects

In this segment, Jeffrey Liker presents a clear explanation of how a manage-by-the-numbers approach with disconnected processes leads people to hide their defects and make the numbers look good even when their work may be negatively impacting other processes. When processes are more closely connected, such as in one piece flow, defects surface quickly. A culture where workers creativity was applied to playing a game of numbers can transform into a culture where that creativity can be applied toward actually improving processes.

Title: High Impact Leadership

Subtitle: 10 Action Strategies for Your Ascent

Author: Brian Braudis

Narrator: Brian Braudis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-30-16

Publisher: Brian Braudis

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

You are an educated, competent leader. But in high stakes leadership situations, emotion, anxiety and stress tend to override competency. Real life doesn't follow a logical flow or a leadership model. Emotions, opinions and passionate feelings are usually not factored into what is taught in leadership skill building workshops. The idea that highly skilled leaders will consistently deliver profit and create improvement is a half-truth.

Brian Braudis uses his education and extensive experience as a leadership coach to get to the core of not just surviving high stakes and high anxiety leadership situations but aiming higher - leading and contributing to the greater social good at the same time. Not as a goal but rather a new foundation for a new era in leadership.

great book easy to read recommend it to everyone

Thought provoking

I love little books that make me think. Brian has one here. Each point was easy to digest, intricate enough to make me pause, and a challenge to imagine putting to work in my day to day life. Just what I needed to get 2016 off to a good start. Thank you Brian!

Four Stars

Great book. Easy to read but the lessons are valuable.

simple.straightforward,and elegant.... leadership boiled down to the essentials.With personal integrity and self-management as the cornerstone for growth,these 10 strategies create a guide that is simple,but not easy. The emphasis on small incremental change,and awareness partnered with patience can bring any goal within reach. I am sending copies to my college-aged kids.

Title: Mantra Leadership

Subtitle: Don't Become the Emperor with No Clothes!

Author: Dana A. Oliver

Narrator: Rob Reedy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-16

Publisher: Mr. Dana A. Oliver

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Mantra Leadership emphasizes the importance of emotionally intelligent leadership which if embraced can increase your team's productivity by as much as 30% or more. This book illustrates positive leadership behaviors that resonate with employees as well as examples of poor behaviors. Each chapter is titled from one of my mantras adopted over my 30 years of experience and considerable education based on both my research. Mantras are extremely helpful in leadership as they provide for a consistent, simple and effective communication mechanism applicable to both aspiring and seasoned business leaders alike.

The leadership style I employ has been very successful as evidenced by the last 14 years of my career as senior director of research and development for Medtronic Surgical Technologies, a division I have helped grow from $100 million to approximately $2 billion in annual revenues over this time period.

Members Reviews:

This should be required reading!

Mantra Leadership is the book I wish I had read in college! It is a well put together manual on how to tackle leadership in a logical way. The book is very well written - some books in this category come off as dry and tough to read, but this is not like that at all! It is full of great stories and examples, while still hammering home some very fundamental aspects of leadership. I highly recommend this to anyone in a corporate America, whether just starting out, mid-career, or having led a very large team for a number of years.

Excellent

This book offers a no-BS / no-fluff, genuine approach to leadership. Oliver offers straightforward practical advice that's grounded in real-world experience. The chapter on priorities and choices is a must for any R&D leader and worth the price of the book!

Five Stars

good read

Great Leadership Book - Mantra Leadership

With âMantra Leadershipâ, Dana Oliver has created a must read guide for all aspiring leaders. This book provides an excellent strategy to understanding what true leadership is and how to become a better mentor and leader. The breakdown of âMantra Leadershipâ into easy to digest âMantrasâ provides a great tool for leaders to use to improve their relationship with their staff and peers. I especially enjoyed the human aspects peppered throughout the book with personal experiences and life lessons which made it easier to relate and incorporate into my own personal work experience. Danaâs 30 plus years in the industry further validates the premises and mantras outlined within this book through years of tried and tested methods. I recommend reading Mantra Leadership for all aspiring leaders.

Release date: 07-18-16

Publisher: iHorizon

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Like it or not, all of us are touched by globalization. But few leaders are prepared for working across borders, and the costs of cultural blind-spots can be immense - from lawsuits to lost opportunities. In Culture Clash, Dr. Zweifel gives you the global and intercultural competencies it takes to manage across cultures anywhere in the world. Using a variety of proven processes, learn how to:

Critic Reviews:

"I wish I had had access to Zweifel's tools 35 years ago when I was starting out." (Werner Brandmayr, ex-President and Managing Director, ConocoPhillips Continental Holding GmbH)

"Great reading for our M&A clients. If you follow these prescriptions, you have an instant leg up on the competition." (John Adams, President, Adams & Royer, Inc.)

"Culture Clash is a great introduction for global executives to the many dimensions you need to play successfully in the global arena." (Hal Burlingame, ex Executive Vice President, AT&T, Senior Executive Advisor, AT&T Wireless)

Members Reviews:

Provide deep insights about cultures while having fun!

In today's world, working with different cultures around the world is more common than ever. If not working, simply interacting with people through internet or simply at the airport. This book provides very actionable and practical tools to connect people around the world building strong relationships. For example, the tool NÂ3 "Decoding Cultures" described in chap. 6, is a very funny and entertaining process to muscle our cultural mindset. It starts by observing the obvious, what is visible/audible signs and behaviors, logos, dress codes, architecture, movies, how people eat; to then, dive into the hidden blind spots, like automatic unconscious past decisions, or say otherwise: what people donât know they donât know. What I loved about practicing this tool what to do it with friends like a game and to eventually decode my own culture... which was kind of surprising.

A "must-read" for all global leaders. âIn my role ...

A "must-read" for all global leaders. âIn my role as Head of Marketing for a global financial institution, it is paramount to cultivate a communication style that works across the globe in many different geographical and cultural regions. The workshop on Cultural Clash was a very important step for me as well as my seniors. As we all know, actively living cultural diversity should be one of the most important leadership tasks in any global company. If we succeed in tapping into our vast pool of diversified skills and capabilities around the world and put them to work for our clients, our bank will have a bright future. Even a marathon starts with the first step. This is how I felt at the workshop with Thomas Zweifel. We made the first important step. However, if we want to finish the marathon, we have to keep going, step for step. I am looking forward to taking on this challenge with my team and with the support of Thomas.

A pleasant journey in cultural management. A must-read!

Culture Clash prepares managers to the ever-growing globalization. This book tells the real journey of the world of cultural differences and how to adapt consequently in business relationships. A must-read!
