Publisher's Summary:

This is a book summary of Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't by Jim Collins

Original book description:

The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the '90s, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.

But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?

The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?

The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least 15 years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in 15 years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.

The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?

The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many listeners and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:

"Some of the key concepts discerned in the study," comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people."

Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

Publisher's Summary:

Grab the top spot in your industry by seizing the power of IoT.

Smart products are everywhere. They're in our companies, in our homes, in our pockets. People love these products. But what they love more is what these products do - and for anyone running a business today, outcomes are the key.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the point of connection between products and the results they deliver - it's where products become software. IoT Inc. explains everything you need to know to position your company within this powerful new network. And once you do, you'll leave the competition in the dust.

Founder and president of today's leading IoT business consulting firm, Bruce Sinclair has been helping companies develop IoT strategies for a decade - far longer than the term has even existed.

This essential guide provides an in-depth look into IoT - how it works and how it is transforming business; methods for seeing your own business, customers, and competitors through the lens of IoT; and a deep dive into how to develop and implement a powerful IoT strategy.

IoT isn't a new business trend. It's the new way of business. Period. The IoT wave is heading for your industry. You can either meet it head-on and ride it to success, or you can turn your back and let it swamp you.

This is your playbook for transforming your company into a major player in the IoT Outcome economy.

Members Reviews:

a must for Makers turning pro

A great number of technical innovators will be learning about business as they venture in to IoT products and markets. I think Mr. Sinclair's book would help those individuals become oriented to a business perspective and vocabulary.

Must for those entering the IoT industry

I listen to audio books while taking a walk or while driving and this is one of the few that really made me stop and make bookmarks. As someone new to the industry I found quite a few gems here, especially the emphasis on value creation and selling outcomes instead of products. Such concepts are nothing new, but the author explained how they clearly apply to IoT offerings. The technical section is not something for beginning IoT engineers who I think will benefit more with a presentation similar to the OSI layer for networking, but it extensively discusses what you need to cover from choosing devices to analytics and security.

Great book for anyone interest in IoT

Would you listen to IoT Inc. again? Why?

Just because of its rich content that can be used as reference.

Any additional comments?

This book is great for anybody willing to learn about IoT and how it affects business models.

Bruce is a seasoned executive who can talk about the business benefits of IoT as well as technical challenges that we need to take into consideration when travelling the IoT journey.

Highly recommended book for anybody with interest in IoT

Practical advice for making the shift to your first leadership position.

The number of people who will become first-time supervisors will likely grow in the next 10 years, as Baby Boomers retire.

They must deal with the change and uncertainty that comes with a new job, requiring new skills, and they've been promoted from peer to leader. While the audiobook addresses the needs of any manager, supervisor, or leader, it pulls from the best leadership and management thinking, and puts the focus on the difficulties that new leaders experience.

This much-needed audiobook can help new leaders get beyond the stress and fear to focus on becoming the most effective leader they can be - starting right now.

Title: One Mission

Subtitle: How Leaders Build a Team of Teams

Author: General Stanley McChrystal - foreword, Charles Goodyear, Chris Fussell

Narrator: General Stanley McChrystal, Chris Fussell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-17

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 120 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

From the coauthor of New York Times best seller Team of Teams, a practical guide for leaders looking to make their organizations flatter and more interconnected.

When retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal and former Navy SEAL Chris Fussell cowrote Team of Teams, they drew on their experience transforming the US military's Special Forces into a flexible and nimble force that could defeat Al-Qaeda's decentralized network in Iraq. They proved that the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of small teams could be scaled up to large organizations while breaking down the silos that frequently cause problems.

Since Team of Teams became a best seller in 2015, business leaders have repeatedly asked Fussell the same questions: How can I transform my own organization into a team of teams? Is that kind of dramatic change even possible outside of the urgency of a combat zone? If so, what are the practical steps to get there?

One Mission answers those questions and many more. Drawing on his consulting work with the McChrystal Group, Fussell shows how civilian organizations have transformed their way of doing business - becoming flatter, quicker, and much more collaborative across departments and divisions. Along with sharing his own experiences from the battlefield, he explores examples from industry titans like Intuit and Under Armour, which have adopted a similar model in order to unite everyone around single compelling mission. The result is a "shared consciousness" that drives consistently better results with less friction and intergroup rivalry.

This book is for any leader who wishes he or she could get everyone to look beyond their narrow field of vision to understand - and contribute to - the organization's one true mission.

Members Reviews:

Just Can't Get Through This Book

What disappointed you about One Mission?

Listening to this book is like sitting through a calculus lecture. It seems to just be suspended above the drain but cannot be flushed. In the end, it offers no real practical advice in accomplishing it's stated goal of building a team of teams.

Has One Mission turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I recognize this is just an author trying to capitalize on the success of other SEAL officers to make a buck

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Not much.

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I guess it could have been longer so I guess a redeeming quality was that it wasn't.

Some good ideas, struggled with narration

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I'm not sure I haven't been able to get through it all yet. I've listened to the first third or perhaps more and ran out of steam due to production quality.

How could the performance have been better?

Nothing against Chris Fussell's voice, but wow, the production quality was sub par. It's obviously spliced together with abrupt intonation changes. I think the audio book would be much better if either Chris had more practice at narrating, or the changed the narrator to be the same as Team of Teams (which had outstanding narration).

Any additional comments?

The production quality was too distracting to get through the book. I feel it was therefore a waste of money.

Five Stars

Great book on how to inspire others and be an effective leader!

Highly recommend if you're looking to build influence and grow as a leader.

Iâve spent my career in marketing and sales, and this book definitely resonated for me. Kristi outlines four moves leaders can make to inspire others and lays them out in a clear, concise model thatâs easy to follow. The book frames inspiration in a different way so that you can see what behaviors actually drive that feeling of being energized and engaged. It also had several surprising findings that made me rethink the impact of the conversations we have â both at work and at home.

Kristiâs experience as a coach provides the book with numerous case studies and examples that made the book hit home. She doesnât gloss over the reality of working in a corporate environment, so the advice is relatable and relevant.

if you want to be a great and inspirational leader, this is your book

How to be a better leader over all, as well as one who inspires

No matter who you are, no matter what you have done, no matter where you have been or where you are in your life journey, this book can help you to be inspirational. Look not all of us are inspirational by nature. Most of us are well, just regular people how have lead regular lives. For the most part, we have done nothing dramatic enough to be inspirational just by our very existence. We did no save lives like the pilot Sully. R change the world like Steve Jobs, or walk on the moon like Armstrong. Now we have just lead our lives the best we could trying to help people along the way. If you agree that you are one of the regular people, that you are one of us, then this book is for you. One of the regular people who want to inspire those around us to greatness.

This book is literally a systematic manual on how to be inspirational from showing people how much we care, to intentional listening to encouraging dialoguing this book provides everything a person needs to be an inspiration to those around her.

Ms. Hedges makes the case that to be inspiration is to energize those around us to do things far beyond what they thought they could do. She focuses on honestly in conversation, authenticity in what we say and even how we say it.

Here are the four steps that take people up the âinspire pathâ as Ms. Hedges calls it.

Title: The Leadership Gap

Subtitle: What Gets Between You and Your Greatness

Author: Lolly Daskal

Narrator: Lolly Daskal, Marshall Goldsmith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-30-17

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 64 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Inc. magazine's most popular writer, executive coach Lolly Daskal, explains how anyone can recognize and leverage the leadership gaps that stand in the way of greatness.

When successful people begin to feel uncertain or challenged at work, the one thing they want to know most is why things are going wrong after they have gone right for so long.

In The Leadership Gap, Lolly Daskal reveals the consequences highly driven, overachieving leaders face when they continue to rely on a skill set that has always worked for them, even when it is no longer effective. Over decades of advising and inspiring the most prominent chief executives in the world, Daskal has discerned that leaders fall into one of seven categories - The Rebel, The Explorer, The Truth Teller, The Hero, The Inventor, The Navigator, and The Knight - and have risen to their positions relying on a specific set of values and traits. However, all leaders reach a point when their effectiveness is compromised by the gap hidden in those traits - intuition becomes manipulation, for instance, or integrity becomes corruption.

Based on a mix of modern philosophy, science, and her own vast well of business experience, Daskal offers a breakthrough perspective on leadership - a new system for rethinking everything you know to reveal the path to becoming the kind of leader you truly want to be.

In The Leadership Gap, Lolly Daskal not only confirms her stature as an exceptional business mind but also reveals the insights and observations of one of our most important leadership experts - a businesswoman known for providing trusted advice, actionable solutions, and provocative ideas to the world's top executives.

Members Reviews:

Excellent discussion on great leadership

Lolly's work is fascinating look at what makes great leaders and their faults - all written and read in a rational and easy to access method that anyone can identify with. This isn't just a great resource for identifying your own leadership gap and developing your self, but great concepts for identifying and drawing out leaders in your teams. I listened to this book then immediately started over again. Will be recommending this book to others.

Well done

Any additional comments?

The author makes the obvious understandable by drawing on real life examples about how to handle humans.

It is clear that the same skills it takes to build are not those it takes to maintain an organization. That was the real revelation to me.

Well Worth Getting

Some wonderful insights. Well worth reading for leaders who want to close the gap in their abilities.

Male pronouns

It would have been easy to alternate pronouns instead of using only he and him...not good enough to offer a statement in the beginning that we should assume he/him means everyone...not good enough.

aa file does not play on iPod, .aax plays badly

I am looking forward to listening to listening to this book, but Audible's current files appear to have serious technical problems that are impeding me.

Title: Red Teaming

Subtitle: How Your Business Can Conquer the Competition by Challenging Everything

Author: Bryce G. Hoffman

Narrator: Bryce G. Hoffman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-17

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Red Teaming is a revolutionary new way to make critical and contrarian thinking part of the planning process of any organization, allowing companies to stress test their strategies, flush out hidden threats and missed opportunities, and avoid being sandbagged by competitors.

Today, most - if not all - established corporations live with the gnawing fear that there is another Uber out there just waiting to disrupt their industry. Red Teaming is the cure for this anxiety. The term was coined by the US Army, which has developed the most comprehensive and effective approach to Red Teaming in the world today in response to the debacles of its recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the roots of Red Teaming run very deep: to the Roman Catholic Church's Office of the Devil's Advocate to the Kriegsspiel of the Prussian General Staff and to the secretive AMAN organization, Israel's Directorate of Military Intelligence. In this book author Bryce Hoffman shows businesses how to use the same techniques to better plan for the uncertainties of today's rapidly changing economy.

Red Teaming is both a set of analytical tools and a mind-set. It is designed to overcome the mental blind spots and cognitive biases that all of us fall victim to when we try to address complex problems. The same heuristics that allow us to successfully navigate life and business also cause us to miss or ignore important information. It is a simple and provable fact that we do not know what we do not know. The good news is that through Red Teaming, we can find out.

In this book Hoffman shows how the most innovative and disruptive companies, such as Google and Toyota, already employ some of these techniques organically. He also shows how many high-profile business failures, including those that sparked the Great Recession, could easily have been averted by using these approaches. Most importantly, he teaches leaders how to make Red Teaming part of their own planning process, laying the foundation for a movement that will change the way America does business.

Army stories

I like learning stuff from books and some books give you functional learning and systems and formulas and this one tells terrible stories from the army.... I thought it was terrible, gave it a good shot but I didnt finish it

Great Book!

The book has history, examples, & methods. Explains what works and what doesn't. How to do Red Teams right.

A very inspiring book

What an amazing way to describe an approach that let us remain young and fiery. It is only when we accept to be challenged that we grow. Once we embrace challenges we can keep up with the pace of life and continue evolving. Red-teaming our concepts and ourselves is a way to never stale in our thinking, to never be old.

Title: What to Do When Machines Do Everything

Subtitle: How to Get Ahead in a World of AI, Algorithms, Bots, and Big Data

Author: Malcolm Frank, Paul Roehrig, Ben Pring

Narrator: Eric Martin

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 92 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

The essential playbook for the future of your business.

What to Do When Machines Do Everything is a guidebook to succeeding in the next generation of the digital economy. When systems running on artificial intelligence can drive our cars, diagnose medical patients, and manage our finances more effectively than humans, it raises profound questions on the future of work and how companies compete. Illustrated with real-world cases, data, and insight, the authors provide clear strategic guidance and actionable steps to help you and your organization move ahead in a world where exponentially developing new technologies are changing how value is created.

Written by a team of business and technology expert practitioners - who also authored Code Halos: How the Digital Lives of People, Things, and Organizations are Changing the Rules of Business - this book provides a clear path to the future of your work.

The first part of the book examines the once in a generation upheaval most every organization will soon face as systems of intelligence go mainstream. The authors argue that contrary to the doom and gloom that surrounds much of IT and business at the moment, we are in fact on the cusp of the biggest wave of opportunity creation since the Industrial Revolution. Next, the authors detail a clear-cut business model to help leaders take part in this coming boom. The AHEAD model outlines five strategic initiatives - Automate, Halos, Enhance, Abundance, and Discovery - that are central to competing in the next phase of global business by driving new levels of efficiency, customer intimacy and innovation.

Business leaders today have two options: be swallowed up by the ongoing technological evolution, or ride the crest of the wave to new profits and better business. This book shows you how to avoid your own extinction event, and will help you:

Assumes that machine learning will grow very slow

As a founder of a robotics startup I work with and keep up to date with the bleeding edge of what we have accomplished in machine learning research.

At the core of this book it argues that machine learning will be narrow AI and will continue to be simple feed forward supervised neural networks for about 20 years.

This is very wrong. We have robust renforment learning, unsupervised learning, and models that integrate with memory. When just what we have working well in universities reaches buisness we will automate much more that what the author's predict. This also ignores that massive breakthroughs in ml are being discovered on the timescale of weeks not years.

They also say that some jobs will never be automated. Perhaps the author believes that there is something magical about the algorithm in the human brain which the physics of the universe prevents us from replicating.

Besides all that, this book is dumbed down and targeted at technically incompetent managers. It has a low information to fluff ratio and is afraid to go into much technical depth. This last point doesn't make it a bad book, just a bad book to me.

Lots of opinion but not much advice

After reading the reviews and the description I decided to give this book a shot but I'm rather disappointed.

Title: Collaborating with the Enemy

Subtitle: How to Work with People You Don't Agree with or Like or Trust

Author: Adam Kahane

Narrator: Jeff Hoyt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-27-17

Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Business, Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

We're trying to get something done that really matters to us. To do this we need to work with others. But these others include people we don't agree with or like or trust, so working with them seems impossible - like collaborating with the enemy. What can we do?

International consultant Adam Kahane, whose work has been praised by Nobel Peace Prize winners Nelson Mandela and Juan Manuel Santos, has faced this challenge many times in working both on big issues, like economic restructuring, climate change, and civil war, and on ordinary issues within organizations and families. He has come to understand that everything we think we know about collaboration - that it requires a harmonious team that agrees on where it's going and how it's going to get there - is wrong. On the contrary, the only way to get things done with diverse others is to abandon harmony, agreement, and control and to learn to work with discord, experimentation, and genuine cocreation.

Kahane proposes a new approach to collaboration - stretch collaboration - that is built on this insight. He offers examples of how he's helped people apply it in all kinds of tough situations throughout the world. This approach requires stepping forward with openness and commitment, as in the words of poet Antonio Machado, "Walker, there is no path. The path is made by walking."

As our societies have become more polarized and globalized and our organizations have become less hierarchical, more of us need to collaborate across more heterogeneous groups than ever before. This means that increasingly often we face situations where conventional collaboration does not work. Kahane's book offers a proven and practical approach to getting things done in such complex and conflictual contexts. It could not be more timely.

Members Reviews:

Run for Cover

I listened to Kahane's interview on CBC Radio and was left with the impression that his book would provide practical solutions for dealing with the classic "problem" people at work or in one's social circle. It is, instead, a model for promoting cohesion in large companies, governments, or other such large organizations. Not a bad premise on which to base a book, but what are its applications in the trenches?

If I can paraphrase Kahane's philosophy in a nutshell, we're not going to change people's negative attitudes so let's work around those attitudes. How? Can you give us examples? The book is all talkie, no walkie.

A head of state or the CEO of a large company might want to examine Kahane's proposals while crafting adjustments to corporate management style, but there is little here to enlighten low level department heads or snipers at the water cooler.

Great insight and a workable plan

Been looking for a text on helping to collaborate rather than cooperate. this has helped enormously.
