Now I understand myself better!

After much hardship starting off my career, I've been asking myself why there is such a disconnect between my baby-boomer boss and I. Listening to this book as a millennial helped me understand why I think certain ways and how to bridge the gap through generational reconciliation. I knew I thought differently, but now I know why I think certain ways and also how older generations were raised. Thanks Gabrielle for making this available to us!

Great book

Love her attitude on millennials. I have just started doing research and gathering info on millennials and this was a great perspective!

Fascinating and Incredibly Informative

Just got to say, my 4 hour road trip, seemed like 5 minutes, since listening to this audiobook! So informative and fascinating! As a millennial myself, the canvas Gabrielle painted of Millennials, even with its variants of colors, is exactly the portrait I experience and the millennial culture I work in. This book is going to be one I review several times over!

Awesome Mantra's

Rules to adhere and live by as an Entrepreneur. Success is half granted when you read and clearly understand ZERO to ONE

Toilet Humor Monopoly

Enjoyed listening in a tongue-in-cheek way on how a serious topic such as creating a business monopoly from scratch can be strenuous work taking effort, angst and time as well as leading any novice entrepreneur to experience bursts of comic relief that can feel as good as taking a well deserved toilet break.

No need to take the creation of a business monopoly so seriously, really, when there is also scatological humor and relief in setting one up? Clever how this narrator presents it without making this "monopoly game" sound inappropriate or dirty to the listener. Excellent reading!

Publisher's Summary:

For three decades, Steve Lemco has been hiring and training new and existing motorcycle salespeople with tremendous success. One day, Steve was talking to one of his favorite clients about the fact that he was going to retire soon. His friend said that he should write a book about the amazing system he developed over the years. Steve took his advice and here it is.

Steve begins with getting prepared for the responses from the help wanted ad. He shares the ad that has worked super for him. Steve goes over the interview, scoring, and cut process, as well as three full days of timed-out sales training. Steve believes in training before hiring, because he feels you really don't know somebody very well until you spend some time with them. In the three days of training, the manager's opinion of his class will change several times. In the end, he will have the top people from the class to choose from. The salespeople hired will all begin with the awesome feeling of being a winner.

Members Reviews:

Very dated sales style from decades ago

This book is a very specific step by step book on hiring a a sales person, right down to placing a classified ad in the newspaper and answering the phone within three rings when someone responds. yes, that's right, placing an ad in the classifieds. This book is very dated and the methods being taught will not credit the modern-day consumer.

Release date: 01-29-16

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Funding falls apart. A similar product is unveiled by a more established company. A key employee jumps ship to work for a competitor. These are the unexpected obstacles that derail even the most promising new ventures. Entrepreneurs determined to keep up with today's constantly changing business environment need to stay nimble enough to shift their strategies, products, and services on a dime. Yet many fail to master this essential new mind-set: agility.

Featuring real-life case studies and invaluable tools, Think Agile helps entrepreneurs assess their level of flexibility - and learn to be open minded and option oriented in key areas including:

When entrepreneurs lock themselves in to one strategy, one product, one distribution method - and one way of thinking about their businesses - they limit their potential and lower their chances of capitalizing on economic, industry, or market changes. Think Agile is an indispensable guide to an undeniably essential new skill.

Members Reviews:

Think Agile is an excellent book for every reader

Think Agile is an excellent book for every reader; be it an entrepreneur, a businessperson or an executive in an organization. Taffy Williamâs provocative thoughts give the readers an unobstructed view of the real world, the practical advice and the out-of-the box strategy in a way that is easily understood. It points out how our shortcomings can be overcome and our innate abilities be utilized in any situation to be effective. The messages, the principles and the narratives in this book will tickle your imagination and change how you think and function, and make positive changes in others for mutual benefits. This book goes beyond everyday business; it applies to everyday life. It is a must-read piece for everyone who wants to enjoy a successful and happy life.

Entrepreneur - Are your stuck? read this and learn to explore new opportunities.

If you want to act differently first you have to think differently and Taffy does a wonderful job in encouraging and motivating us to do just that. As an entrepreneur and also a consultant in 'people focused' activities the practical tips and suggestions will help almost everyone move from stuck to reviewing opportunities. For me the most inspiring chapter was chapter 6 as timelines and deadlines are such a poorly understood and usually ignored source of both success and failure. Doing something is indeed usually better than doing nothing, and having options is ideal. I also commend Taffy for encouraging everyone to take time to look after and rejuvenate themselves. I hope he occasionally takes some of his own good advice.

Taffy nicely written and positively inspiring thank you.

I am looking forward to my future success fueled by new insights into thinking and then acting with more agility.

Excellent for fresh ways of thinking and beating your competitors to market.

Think Agile: How Smart Entrepreneurs Adapt in Order to Succeed

As an Agile Coach working with various Fortune 1000 companies, I train and coach teams in the use of this style of thinking everyday. Companies are able to get minimally viable products to market faster and with better quality than many of their competitors. I see companies ranging in size and business adopting Agile processes and thinking everyday.

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Starting your own business is a vision for most people, but if you unaware of what you're doing, you can end up with a nightmare instead. A business, like a machine, needs to be correctly programmed to function and deliver the best kind of results. "Kaizen", a Japanese philosophy, has brought financial success to many companies in Japan. This Kaizen methodology of running a business relies on the central value of improvement, not as individuals, but as a company.

This book specifically explains what Kaizen is and from where it actually originated. It has a unique set of aspects regarding the Kaizen for you to better understand. Kaizen is significantly more than a world-class management practice; it is a method to expel fear from our minds, empowering us to find a way to better things. The procedure of progress begins with mindfulness and desire in our brains and, after that, prompts activity and change in the physical world.

To flourish in today's highly competitive economy, associations need to work more adequately and beneficially than in any other time. Working on developing people who are good at problem solving, expanding productivity, enhancing quality, and decreasing waste are crucial achievement elements. This guide focuses more on Gemba Kaizen philosophy rather than on an individual's personal life. Although this is a philosophy that can explain and help in all sorts of issues, its major focus is on how to improve the workplace for better results and increased productivity.

This book gives listeners a lot of information about the famous Japanese Kaizen philosophy, especially:

In short, Kaizen helps in:

1. Seeing the waste 2. Constantly changing for the better 3. Turning a problem into a profitable venture.

Title: How to Have a Good Day

Subtitle: Think Bigger, Feel Better and Transform Your Working Life

Author: Caroline Webb

Narrator: Caroline Webb

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-14-16

Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

In How to Have a Good Day, economist and former McKinsey partner Caroline Webb tells listeners how to use recent findings from behavioural economics, psychology and neuroscience to transform their approach to everyday working life.

Advances in these behavioral sciences are giving us ever better understanding of how our brains work, why we make the choices we do and what it takes for us to be smart and savvy. But it's not always been easy to see how to apply these insights in the workplace - until now.

In How to Have a Good Day, Webb explains how three big scientific ideas can help us be at our best every day. She shows us exactly how to apply this science to our plans, tasks and conversations in step-by-step guidance that allows us to: set better priorities; make the hours go further; turn every interaction into a success; strengthen our personal impact; be resilient in the face of setbacks; and sustain our energy over the course of the day. Webb teaches us how to be at our best under pressure and gives us specific tools to tackle common work challenges - from conflict with colleagues to dull meetings and packed inboxes.

Filled with stories of people who have used Webb's insights to boost their job satisfaction and performance at work, How to Have a Good Day is the audiobook so many people wanted when they finished Nudge, Blink and Thinking Fast and Slow and were looking for practical ways to apply this fascinating science to their own lives and careers.

A remarkable and much-needed book, How to Have a Good Day firmly delivers on its promise, showing us all how to have a lifetime of good days.

Good Book => Good Day

I wandered into this book from the cognitive neuroscience direction. I don't tend to seek out "help you organise" books that simply report stuff that sounds good to the writer.But this one's different.

It talks about interesting findings in behavioural science, often with memorable examples where people verifiably behave in a ways which you might not expect; then it suggests how this might be used to make your day a little bit better...moving from mental trap to mental treasure.

There is SO MUCH good advice that I will struggle to apply all of it... But it's significantly changed the way I approach my day tactically, and changed the way I think about it strategically.

Thank you, Caroline, for an excellent book!

struggled with the narration

The books has lots of great ideas but it's just not packaged in the right way. Caroline Webb narrates the book but she struggles with storytelling and after a while I get lost. sorry I'm being honest. If you're new to this type of book then try it but I think other titles deliver it better.

Great points, not a good audible book

Any additional comments?

I bought this to listen to whilst on the train, and in the end I found it really difficult to listen to. It kept saying "We'll explore this in more detail in chapters 6, 7 and 9" over and over again. It was really disruptive to the message.

Title: Project Management

Subtitle: Failed IT Project Business Cases: A Career Guide to Lessons Learned

Author: Natalie Disque

Narrator: Paula Slade

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

The percentage of IT projects that fail is embarrassing to those in the IT industry! Project managers need to get their act together to ensure that their projects run smoothly, all lines of communication are open, and they have the backing of the stakeholders and upper management. But do PMs have the skills they need to keep a project afloat?

This quick career guide book is meant to provide you with 10 real world IT project examples, why they failed, and lessons learned for each one. It will provide you with key points on the following concepts related to IT projects:

If you are a project manager, aspiring to be one, or just an adult continuing your education in the field of business and IT project management, then you need to listen to this book and learn from other failed IT projects how you can overcome these types of failures and be a successful IT project manager.

Members Reviews:

Hodgepodge of information often unrelated to a specific IT project failure scenario.

Jarringly inconsistent. The 90 minute book starts with a long introduction that is not informative. Next, the author covers a number of failed IT projects, which are fascinating topics and should make for a fascinating book. However, the author focuses on minor details while scrimping on information about project background, goals, personnel and what led up to the failure. Most disconcerting were the inaccuracies. Example: Bitcoin was a failed project because the project manager took drugs as trade for the original collection of bitcoin. A more standard explanation is that bitcoin is an experiment in a decentralized digital currency based on blockchain technology, that if successful, could become a disruptive technology. The originator of bitcoin is unknown and his/her identity is one of the Internet's great mysteries. The book ends with a bunch of project management rules. I found these unwelcome because I have several excellent books devoted to project management and project management rules.

Very informative!

This is a great resource for someone moving into the project management arena or a great review for those who have been in the business and have seen project failures from time to time. I would definitely recommend it!

Title: Scaling Up Excellence

Author: Hayagreeva Rao, Robert I. Sutton

Narrator: Robert Shapiro

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-24-15

Publisher: Random House AudioBooks (UK)

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Scaling up excellence is the key to creating a great organisation. It's how a small enterprise expands without losing focus. It's how a brilliant new idea or plan developed by the few goes on to be adopted by the many. And, in hard times and tough situations, it's how pockets of smart new thinking overcome cultures of indifference or negativity. An organisation that doesn't know how to scale up what is best within it won't achieve long-term success.

Best-selling author Robert Sutton and his Stanford colleague, Huggy Rao, have devoted nearly a decade to uncovering what it takes to create and spread outstanding performance, and in Scaling Up Excellence they share the fruits of their research.

Drawing on case studies that range from Silicon Valley enterprises to nonprofit organisations, they provide crucial insights into corporate cultures, both good and bad, and offer a road map for establishing and stimulating excellence. In the process, they show how to use 'premortems' when making big decisions about change. They reveal why seven is so often the magic number when it comes to team size. They examine successful and unsuccessful quests for improvement - in hospitals, schools and elsewhere. And they discuss when a single corporate mind-set is best ('Catholicism') and when local variation is preferable ('Buddhism').

Scaling Up Excellence is the first management book devoted to what is - or should be - a core priority for every organisation. As such it is destined to become the standard bearer.

Members Reviews:

A super engaging read on "The Problem of More"

Rao and Sutton make each lesson relevant and engaging by connecting it to a real world case study. Each "mini-case" is a few paragraphs to a few pages long â enough material to teach the associated lesson, but not so much as to become repetitive or dull. Each of the organizations in the book becomes a character with its own foibles, charms, and flaws.

The "Catholic" versus "Buddhist" continuum in particular is a highly descriptive way to approach the scaling problem â do you replicate an exact model everywhere, or do you allow flexibility in creativity in each implementation? Thereâs no correct answer â just different approaches that work or donât depending on circumstance.

The writing is clear, bold, concise, and extremely down-to-earth. I recommend this book highly to anyone looking at the state of the art in scaling organizations.

Excellent Book On Modern Management!

This book is an excellent book on modern management. Great tmely examples. This book is well researched and well written. Easy to read gripping book with lots of practical ideas for growing a great company. I recommend this book without qualifications.

Oh, if it were so easy

I consider this book, really, just a book about change management. "Just" is probably unfair because there aren't a litany of great change management books that aren't simplistic or fables. So, suggestions like "get the cool kids on board," is fun, new lingo and thus reading the book is a fairly fresh read, but I think the book overreaches.
