Title: Managers Not MBAs

Subtitle: A Hard Look at the Soft Practice of Managing and Management Development

Author: Henry Mintzberg

Narrator: Joe Barrett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-15-11

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 29 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

In this audiobook, Henry Mintzberg offers a sweeping critique of how managers are educated and how management, as a result, is practiced, and makes thoughtful - and controversial - recommendations for reforming both.

Management, Mintzberg writes, is a practice that blends a great deal of craft (experience) with a certain amount of art (insight) and some science (analysis). Because conventional MBA programs are designed almost exclusively for young people with little if any managerial experience, and hence little art and no craft to draw upon, the programs overemphasize science, in the form of analysis and technique. Graduates leave with a distorted impression that management consists entirely of applying formulas to situations, which has had a corrupting, dehumanizing effect not just on the practice of management, but also on our organizations and our social institutions.

Turning to how managers should be developed, Mintzberg describes in detail a set of innovative programs designed to address these shortcomings that he and a group of colleagues have put into practice: the International Masters in Practicing Management (IMPM). Finally, he outlines how business schools can transform themselves to become true schools of management.

Managers Not MBAs presents the kind of bold, iconoclastic thinking business people have come to expect from the man Fast Company magazine called "one of the most original minds in management".

Title: Hello Stay Interviews, Goodbye Talent Loss: A Manager's Playbook

Author: Beverly Kaye, Sharon Jordan-Evans

Narrator: Julie Eickhoff

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-15

Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Good employees are hard to find, and they can be easy to lose. But there's a simple tool every manager can use to ensure that star performers and solid contributors alike will feel energized, engaged, and excited - and that they will give you fair warning if they're unhappy. It's called the stay interview, and this book is the manager's definitive guide, written by the women who created the concept.

The idea is simple: ask people how they like their jobs and what would keep them there. Worried that your talented people will want things you can't deliver, like more money or a big promotion? Kaye and Jordan-Evans have a simple four-step process for dealing with that. Feel just plain awkward about doing stay interviews? They explain how to create an atmosphere that will make the interview more comfortable and provide dozens of suggested questions and icebreakers, as well as tips for easing any performance anxiety you might feel. Think you don't have time? They offer all kinds of options for where, when, and how you can do stay interviews, from folding them into other business processes to doing them casually, like on a walk to get a cup of coffee.

Stay interviews prevent exit interviews. They cost nothing, and the price of not doing them - in lost talent and time - can be huge. Now that you have the most practical, authoritative, soup-to-nuts guide available, you have no excuse. Just ask!
