No real added value to The Speed Of Trust

Thoug it was nice, it is not a real addition to The Speed of Trust, which was ground breaking. This is some stuff that you already know when you use common sense.

Trust is everything

Great insights. This book provides practical and actionable ways to build and maintain trust. Enjoy

This book brings trust to a new level

The Speed of Trust is a wonderful book to listen to first. Smart trust is mentioned nearing the end of The Speed of Trust, and the book Smart Trust brings trust understanding to a new level. It is a fast listen, the content is powerful.

Members Reviews:

the only leadership book you'll hate

There book was written to only push their site? so many times did they advertise their site, I am still getting sick everyone I hear word "engage". First part of the book felt like listening to the audio version of coloring book or Quotes section of Financial Times. too much numbers in audio book is not benefiting the reader. Then later it did turn to something meaningful, yet this annoying ad for their site ruined the whole thing.

Excellent

Excellent advice for every leader in every aspect of managing and leading no matter what business or career you may be in.

Well, not the only book...

It's okay, but not the only leadership book you will ever need. Some gems, many you have heard before. I much prefer, and think your money would be better spent on the books by Dan and Chip heath.

Publisher's Summary:

Long hours. Juggling family and work. Deadlines. High stress levels. Professionals are feeling more overworked and overwhelmed than ever before. Yet you CAN get more done than you ever thought possible and still get home to your real life sooner. Laura Stack, The Productivity Pro, shows you how.

Leave the Office Earlier explores the 10 key factors that improve results, lower stress, and save time in the workplace. Fun, interactive quizzes speed you to exactly the advice and techniques you need the most. You can tailor this information-loaded book to your own needs by focusing on your problem areas - such as time-wasters, distractions, email overload, or poor organization - and by following the easy-to-implement solutions.

Using the word PRODUCTIVE itself as a foundation, Stack devotes a chapter on each of the productivity factors: Preparation, Reduction, Order, Discipline, Unease, Concentration, Time Mastery, Information, Vitality, and Equilibrium. Listeners determine their own Productivity Quotient (PQ) by answering 10 questions per factor, resulting in a cumulative score out of 100 possible points.

The main premise of Leave the Office Earlier is to teach people how to be more productive and effective during the day, so they can leave the office on time (perhaps 5:00 instead of 6:30), lead a more balanced life, have higher morale, thus reducing employee turnover in organizations. The book is filled with inspiring anecdotes, quizzes, and checklists to provide the kind of hands-on tools needed to implement new lifelong skills.

With the help of Laura Stack, you will work more efficiently and be more productive in every area of your life, so that you can really live according to your priorities. It's not about working faster. Work better, reduce stress, and leave the office earlier!

Opiniones de los miembros:

No lo vuelvo a escuchar, no es lo que esperaba

Would you listen to El ejecutivo al minuto [The One Minute Manager] again? Why?

El libro es bueno, el tema que exponen también, el problema es el narrador, el muy marcado acento español y el tono de voz, aburren.Deberían haber hecho una narración con alguien de latinoamérica, sin acento y una voz más dinámica.La mayoría de los libros que he comprado en Audible son en inglés y creo que los prefiero porque casi todos vienen narrados por sus autores, lo que los hace más interesantes desde mi punto de vista.Y sí, mi error fue no haber escuchado el sample antes de comprar

worst audio book i have heard

This was the worst audio book I have heard. I have read several other books by Daniel Goleman and I appreciated the content of this book, the stilted performance mixed with bad editing made it almost impossible to understand the thought process of the book. I would recommend this title but I would suggest reading it and not listening to it.

Worst narration ever

Good content but repeated itself in a fee ocasions. Narrator was not good. It seemed the narration was never edited.

Recommended for EI overview

Concise & very informative.

The book summarises the different EI aspects & components in a very interesting way.

interesting

An interesting introduction to EI but sometimes dificult to understand whatsup the speaker is saying.

great read

loved it. some great information about emotional intelligence and management. worth the time it took
