Title: Work Without Walls

Subtitle: An Executive's Guide to Attention Management, Productivity, and the Future of Work

Author: Maura Nevel Thomas

Narrator: Maura Nevel Thomas

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-10-17

Publisher: Burget Ave. Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

The key to success in the knowledge economy is quality employee experience.

Executives must protect knowledge workers (and themselves) from stress and burn-out. How can you and your team be creative when exhaustion and frustration from 24/7 communications, changing priorities, and constant distractions are the norm?

Today's "always-on" work culture actually prevents you and your team from producing what really matters: ideas, innovation, and meaningful results.

According to Maura Thomas in Work Without Walls, "(in the knowledge economy,) the most important individual and corporate resources are neither time nor money, but body and mind." Her research and 20+ years of experience in the productivity field confirm that relationships and productivity suffer when people are stressed, and that greater employee happiness creates success and productivity, and is essential to deliver great customer experiences.

Author Maura Thomas describes how to intentionally create a workplace culture that nurtures creativity and improves productivity by focusing on high-quality employee experience through:

Each chapter provides personal shifts and organizational changes through specific action items you can implement now to support the well-being and long-term success of you, your team, and your organization.

"If conventional wisdom says that constant work is necessary for professional success, I can't think of a more important time to buck convention." (Maura Nevel Thomas)

Members Reviews:

Too annoying to finish

This book gives an entry-level explanation of how employees in the knowledge industry work. I think the modern executive (who this book is supposedly aimed at) would struggle to find any new or valuable information here.

The book also provides pre-canned

tweets that you are welcome to copy verbatim and tweet to your employees to inspire them.

And that tells you everything you need to know.

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Develop the qualities of strategic leadership and become an active contributor to the short- and long-term success of your organization.

Today's organizations face two daunting challenges: how to create new sources of competitive advantage to sustain long-term growth, and how to engage leaders at every level of the organization so that they are more proactive and forward-looking in their area of responsibility. The Art of Strategic Leadership uses a unique approach to examine what it means to be a strategic leader. Instead of focusing on the skills, behaviors, and tools found in typical books on strategic leadership, the authors shed light on the attributes and qualities necessary to lead strategic change and help transform a business. Strategic leadership is what modern leadership is all about. Organizations expect leaders to anticipate and be proactive more than ever before. In this book, the authors draw on their vast experience working directly with leaders at all levels and use an intriguing narrative to explain this inside-out approach to understanding strategic leadership. The narrative follows the journey of how one manager discovered these critically important qualities. You will experience first-hand how these values and attributes manifest in the lives of realistic leaders, how they orchestrate long-term strategic change needed for the organization to compete and survive, and actively shape the future while delivering short-term results.

The Art of Strategic Leadership provides the content that will help you informally assess and reflect on your own strategic leadership qualities - those that are strengths and those that indicate areas you need to develop. It will guide you as you incorporate these values and qualities into your own leadership style and become a more effective catalyst for change. This book will help you in the following ways:

Strategic leaders serve as powerful examples to others in the organization. Their qualities and traits spread rapidly to those around them, empowering people at every level to take a more active role in meeting the demands of the future. The Art of Strategic Leadership will help you deepen and broaden your understanding of the core qualities of strategic leadership, leaving you better equipped to lead yourself and your team to a better place and create greater value for customers, owners, and employees.

Great information delivered in an entertaining way

Then I saw it as an audio book and figured if it was half as good as his live speaking then it would be well worth the purchase. Super I formative, easy to listen to, and can hold your attention on a topic that so many people and businesses need to improve on.

Title: The Federal Management Playbook

Subtitle: Leading and Succeeding in the Public Sector

Author: Ira Goldstein

Narrator: Jon Pitt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-10-17

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Stories of government management failures often make the headlines, but quietly much gets done as well. What makes the difference? Ira Goldstein offers wisdom about how to lead and succeed in the federal realm, even during periods when the political climate is intensely negative, based on his decades of experience as a senior executive at two major government consulting firms and as a member of the US federal government's Senior Executive Service. The Federal Management Playbook coaches the importance of always keeping four key concepts in mind when planning for success: goals, stakeholders, resources, and time frames. Its chapters address how to effectively motivate government employees, pick the right technologies, communicate and negotiate with powerful stakeholders, manage risks, get value from contractors, foster innovation, and more. Goldstein makes lessons easy to apply by breaking each chapter's plans into three strategic phases: create an offensive strategy, execute your plan effectively, and play a smart defense. Additional tips describe how career civil servants and political appointees can get the most from one another, advise consultants on providing value to government, and help everyone better manage ever-present oversight. The Federal Management Playbook is a must-listen for anyone working in the government realm and for students who aspire to public service.

The book is published by Georgetown University Press.

Critic Reviews:

"The Playbook hammers home ways and means of working together to achieve the effective and efficient execution of public policies that we want and deserve." (Paul A. Volcker, chairman, The Volcker Alliance)

"This is one of the best books I have ever read on how to improve the operations of government." (Charles A. Bowsher, retired Comptroller General of the United States, former Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and retired partner of Accenture)

Release date: 05-03-17

Publisher: Bibliomotion, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Employees don't work for companies; they work for people. The more irresistible you are as a leader, the more pull you have for employees to want to stay and for your customers to remain loyal. In The Magnetic Leader, Roberta Matuson asks us to consider that the quality of a company's leadership is the most important factor in attracting and retaining high-quality employees.

The Magnetic Leader aids listeners in transforming their leadership style from push to pull, repel to attract, dismal to good, and then good to great. They'll become magnetic leaders who attract the cream of the crop and ultimately create legions of loyal, talented superstars eager to beat the competition.

Publisher: Zacks Audiobooks Production

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Often leaders have a great vision, but don't know how to communicate their strategies and turn them into results. Just as often, a company's staff has insight and information that never make their way to the top.

1. Become a master communicator who inspires others

2. Harness the power of your speaking and listening to shape the reality you want

4. Climb the Matterhorn of Masterful Listening - develop and sustain the Seven Listening Levels

5. Avoid the Four Deadly Sins of Speaking and minimize clutter in your language

Get Communicate or Die and, in a quick and fun read, build your capacity to get the results you want.

Critic Reviews:

"In business and life, we all have communication failures that could easily be prevented with a little skill; but we are blind in the area. Read this book - it's going to cost you next to nothing to read. You can substitute one evening of entertainment and make a difference in your life and work for years to come." (Ali Velshi, anchor, CNN)

"When people speak - and listen - effectively, they get better information, better strategic intelligence, and better results. Zweifel's short book is absolutely essential if you want tight championship teams." (Steve Baird, senior management advisor, UBS)

"Zweifel's powerful yet simple principles and tools enable leaders to use a free commodity - language - to produce breakthrough results." (Col. Joseph LeBoeuf, Head Leadership Program, US Military Academy West Point)

Members Reviews:

So short cut painful leadership and communication learning

As a professional communicator of 30+ profesional seasons I say: Get this book. Had I had it back in 1993 when I started, I would have been commanding 10x fees. So short cut painful leadership and communication learning, read this book and become the best leader you can be (plus: It's a great read thanks to all the metaphors and anecdotes. Revelation trumps explanation - in it's purest form)

Good stuff!

I am really getting a lot out of this book and find myself frequently making references to things I've picked up.....I am sharing excerpts with my team and they are also really enjoying it.

Good stuff!!

A must have!!!

This is my very favorite book and I use the tools you learn in the book every day!

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 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, the bank will have a bright future.

Title: Influence Redefined

Subtitle: Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be, Monday to Monday

Author: Stacey Hanke

Narrator: Stacey Hanke

Length: 6 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-31-17

Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Do you feel confident you're a leader with influence? You may be surprised to discover you're not as influential as you think you are.

Your team is only as strong as your influence, and many leaders today are mistaken about what it means to be influential. An outdated influence paradigm, along with technological devices and distractions, is making it increasingly challenging for leaders to reach those they need to influence in order to be successful. In fact many leaders are unwillingly and unknowingly sabotaging themselves and their influence.

In her thought-provoking Influence Redefined, Stacey Hanke introduces her powerful Influence Model, a step-by-step method for improving communication and producing the ideal type of influence - one that moves people to action long after an interaction is over. She dispels the most common influence myths and instructs leaders on how to stop sabotaging themselves in order to leave a positive, lasting impression.

Using a results-based definition of influence for individuals and organizations, Hanke successfully shows leaders how they can develop influence as a skill through self-awareness, consistency, a positive reputation, adaptability, and impact.

With insights from dozens of executives and business leaders as well as practical how-tos and action steps, Influence Redefined will help leaders multiply and expand their influence every day, Monday to Monday.

Through Stacey Hanke, Inc., the author has provided keynotes, mentoring, and training on communicating with influence to thousands of leaders across industries. She is the author of Yes You Can! and has appeared in the New York Times and SmartMoney. Hanke was recognized as one of the National Speakers Association's ''Top 6 Under 40.''

Members Reviews:

Monotonous and obvious.

Basically, be great all day everyday and you'll be great all day everyday. Genius right?

Save your money and time on this one.

A new perspective on Influence

Everyone understands Leadership is influence. This book takes that concept to a whole new level. A fresh look at influence. I highly recommend you get this book and digest it.

A Must Read

Stacey nails it! Self awareness, K.N.O.W, debunking myths, this book has it all. There are so many "leaders" who need to read, and apply, the many techniques outlined. She not only gives action steps to improve, but supplies the reasons WHY. The quotes, the tips, the drills, the insights, simply marvelous....Monday to Monday.

Helpful information and stories

Would you try another book from Stacey Hanke and/or Stacey Hanke?

Stacey is an expert on being an influential communicator, and she covers valuable points throughout the book. It is also helpful how she shares real life stories of her clients and how they applied the information. The book actually seems like it has more stories in it to make her point than her information, although I believe it works.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

What was a bit annoying is how she was talking as though she does when she presents before a large audience. She places heavy emphasis on words that begins to be annoying. It takes a bit to overcome it. The last 1/3 of the book she doesn't do it as much. I would prefer her to talk to me instead of presenting.
