Title: Team Building Strategies for IT Managers

Subtitle: Tips and Techniques That IT Managers Can Use in Order to Develop Productive Teams

Author: Jim Anderson

Narrator: Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-10-14

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

In order for any IT manager to be a success, the team that you are managing has to learn how to work together. All too often what IT managers don't realize is that your team may not know how to work together and they are going to need you to show them how to do this.

What You'll Find Inside:

Team building is a soft skill that too many of us have never had any training on how to grow and cultivate. It starts with understanding that every member of your team is an individual. This means that you're going to have to deal with team members who don't want to work with each other as well as members who are locked into destructive competition with each other.

As though that wasn't enough for you to have to deal with, in the modern workplace there are multiple generations working together. One of the greatest challenges that you'll be facing is discovering how to manage the millennial generation the so-called trophy kids. You need them to be a part of your team, but in order to get them to be an effective part of your team you are going to have to discover how they want to be managed.

Managing in the 21st Century means that social media tools are available to help you connect with your team. You'll need to be careful how you use them, but these tools can help you to bring your team together into a single functioning unit.

The good news is that the solution to building teams is not something that you have to dream up all by yourself. Other firms have faced the same set of challenges and you can learn from them by studying both what has worked for them as well as the things that have not worked for them.

Wrong title for this book

The title should be, "How to Build a Relationship with the Sales Team when Youre a Product Manager"

This book is written specifically from the point of view of how a Product Manager (not IT Manager) is responsible for the success of their product(s) with a heavy lean on how to work with the Sales team.

The title is VERY misleading.

Equipment, property, and machinery can be very expensive purchases, and thats why we need to finance, so we can find someone who will pay your investment off, as long as you pay back the borrowed amount plus interest.

Title: Make an Ethical Difference

Subtitle: Tools for Better Action

Author: Mark J. Pastin

Narrator: Vic Doucette

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-18-14

Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Practical tools to help you see what's right and do it.

People are often skeptical that there is anything they can do to raise society's ethical level. Mark Pastin begs to differ. We can make a difference, and we don't need ethics "experts" to tell us what to do. He argues that we all have an innate ethical sense - what he calls an "ethics eye". He offers tools for sharpening the ethics eye so we can see and do the right thing ourselves, particularly in the workplace, where our decisions can affect not just ourselves but coworkers, clients, customers, and even an entire organization.

Seeing what's right is one thing - getting others to agree with you is another. With examples drawn from his decades of experience advising governments, corporations, and NGOs, Pastin shows how to identify competing interests, analyze the facts, understand the viewpoints, measure the benefits of different outcomes, and build consensus. You'll gain confidence in your ethical sense, make better leadership decisions, and take actions that elevate the ethics of the groups and organizations you belong to - and society as a whole.

Invaluable Tools for All Leaders

These easily understood tools provide a practical way to efficiently and effectively make decisions about often quite complex ethical situations. This book is valuable not only to Compliance and Ethics Officers, but to all leaders. The case scenarios are real, and have been pulled from Dr. Pastin's forty years of experience as an internationally respected Consultant in education and ethics. A must read!

Best Leadership Book!

This is a terrific book for developing an ethics skill set. Well-written, occassiinaly light hearted and practical. But it's greatest value is as a management and leadership book and as such I would highly recommend it to current and aspiring managers who are looking for tools to lead.

Timely, succinct, useful

Text demonstrates consistent grasp of the reality of the complex situations facing compliance professionals in today's liquid and dynamic working environment. The author knows his stuff!!

Five Stars

Very informative and insightful material.

Reconnecting Ethical Practices

Mark has written an effective publication on ethics that does make a difference. He is able to bridge the disconnect for what organizations and society wants and the stunning reality of questionable actions by certain individuals. Though no one can legislative morality or ethical behavior, Mark is able to reconnect the desires of ethical people and the policies and actions of a business or any organization. Mark's case situations in this book provide the reader with strong doses of reality and brings ethical practices to the forefront with solutions. A must read.

Title: 100 Rules for Entrepreneurs

Subtitle: Real-Life Business Lessons

Author: Neil Lewis

Narrator: Bob Sinfield

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-09-14

Publisher: Prospero Media

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Comprehensive, hard-won, no-nonsense advice. 100 Rules for Entrepreneurs covers every aspect of business from the entrepreneur's point of view. Unlike other guides, it avoids mere theorising. Instead, everything is tackled in light of the realities of business in the 21st century, and through the lens of serious entrepreneurial experience.

The rise of regulations, the impact of competition and the growth of globalisation means that start-ups have to be more flexible and robust than ever before in order to prevail. Mindful of this, Neil Lewis provides practical and original advice on:

He also brings to bear his experiences on dealing with dividends, shareholders and other advanced aspects of running a start-up. Grity wisdom. Accessible and memorable - counterintuitive at times, at times reassuringly simple; refreshingly realistic throughout - 100 Rules is the ultimate companion for today's entrepreneur.

It is the direct and hard-earned wisdom of an entrepreneur who has seen it all: the giddying heights of reaching a 12m valuation in eight years from a simple start in a back bedroom with a computer and 2,000; the dizzying descent of losing it all in two, and the work required to pick up and start, successfully, again.

Title: What CIOs Need to Know About Working with Partners

Author: Jim Anderson

Narrator: Jim Anderson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-30-13

Publisher: Blue Elephant Consulting

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

In order to be a success, a CIO needs to be able to find and work with partners. These partners have to be committed to the same things that the CIO is: The overall success of his or her company and IT department.

However, finding the right partners can be quite a challenge. All too often alliances don't work out. CIOs need to take the time and study why some of these relationships are successful while others are not.

As difficult as it can be to find the right vendor, that is just the start of the relationship. CIOs have to understand that these types of relationships take care and maintenance. In order to get out of the relationship what you need, you are going to have to understand what the relationship is going to require over the long haul.

One of the most significant partnerships that most CIOs will become involved in have to do with the offshoring of IT assets. These are unique types of relationships and they come with their own special set of conditions and restrictions.

Just to make things more complicated, the arrival of cloud computing has created a whole new class of potential vendor partners for an IT department. Picking the right cloud provider is a brand new task for CIOs. We first have to understand the technology and then understand the firms that are providing it.

Finally, the importance of IT to every firm continues to grow. With this importance come additional responsibilities. The government has started to understand the impact that an IT department can have on the performance of a firm and so new legislation is being considered. CIOs need to both be aware of this and planning for it.
