Some great ideas

This is very agency focused but would be easy to apply to many aspects of business or even life. The mistakes are obvious once you have been told but with solid ideas on how to tackle them.

Members Reviews:

Insipid.

I bought this book thinking it will be worth the effort and the investment even if one of the ideas in the book can lead to something useful. I read through a few random pages of the book and sifted through about 10 of the "ideas" (unfortunately after having bought the book). There's wasn't a single interesting idea out of the 10 (for a sample see idea no 151). Written in a rather simplistic manner (phrases like "ship without a rudder", "study after study has found that"), the book is really uninspiring. I am already getting the feeling that I am wasting my time writing a review for this book. I feel the need to save the possible buyer some dough.

No Good Advice At All - Really Stupid Book

I bought this book from Borders for full price 13 bucks and boy am I sorry! I should have scanned the book better first. The book is broken into so many little minor sections with inserts here and there - did they think this was a magazine? Anyway, there is NOTHING valuable at all in this book. All they do is draw a little box on every page and put dash marks around it (like a coupon you are supposed to cut out) and then tell you go to create a 3x5 card and hang it on your wall at work.

Do you have the eyes, the ears, and the hands to be a Nanovator? Youre about to find out. In India, entire familiestoo poor to afford a carcrowd onto a single motor scooter every day to brave the tangled traffic lurching through the streets. One evening Tata Motors venerable chairman Ratan Tata witnessed something on those rain-soaked streets that both horrified him and birthed a dream: an overloaded scooter lost traction in a busy intersection and sent several members of the family tumbling across the pavement. In that moment Nanovation took root in Tatas imagination. The very idea was supposed to be impossible. A safe and appealing family car for the price of a motor scooter? The experts dismissed it. But Ratan Tata was undeterred. When budget constraints, design restrictions, the rising costs of materials, and political agitation threatened to derail the project, Team Nano pressed on.

This is the story of how, in the face of insurmountable odds, Tata Motors created one of the greatest innovations in the auto industry since the Model-T. Nanovation has disrupted an entire industry and changed the game for India forever. Imagine what it can do for your business. Is your company changing the way society functions? What's your Nanovative idea? It's time get moving!

Members Reviews:

Not worth your time, (I wasted mine)

What disappointed you about Nanovation?

I truly wanted to learn about how this revolutionary car came to live, instead, I was forced to listen to the authors preach a few simple point over and over, (and over) again. No meat, just stale bread crumbsIt's a shame, I am a product designer trying to learn more about how great products come about. Instead of being inspired by a great story, I was forced to listen to a terribly under researched, under written, overly half-baked and re-heated (boring) self help business book, by authors that are much more interested in self promotion then doing their job, (which is telling a great story compellingly).I am passing on all the books from these authors.I have been an Audio listener for years, this is my first review

Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

NO, this

What didnt you like about Dean Gallaghers performance?

He was fine, I ended up trying to listen at 2x speed, but still could not stand being told the same thing 5+ times, (just terrible)

What character would you cut from Nanovation?

The book is a mix-mash of some story, some preaching, and mixed all together, repeated again and again, Maybe we need to fire the editor's too. The car could be great, I have no idea from the book, it just does not tell you the story.

Author: Daniel Goleman

Narrator: Warren Bennis

Format: Original Recording

Length: 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-28-11

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

The ideas expressed in Emotional Intelligence 10 years ago have taken on a life of their own. They've spurred a movement, with enthusiastic adherents in the business world, in medicine and healthcare, at home, in the field of education, and in the world at large. Several million people, including business managers, human-resource departments, healthcare workers, teachers, parents, and students, have applied the ideas and principles expressed in Emotional Intelligence to their fields, with tangible and quantifiable results.

Leading with Emotional Intelligence Conversations is an ongoing dialogue series that begins with luminaries in the field of business. In the world of business we have only scratched the surface of how principles of emotional intelligence can increase profitability and efficiency in the workplace.

Its in the nature of an organization to want to spin information, but in reality, covering up painful truths can have negative consequences. For the best organizations, it is clear that the future is all about transparency. Businesses and organizations can only win by showing they have integrity. The good news, according to Bennis and Goleman, is that organizations can change. They can choose truth over spinas long as their leaders have the emotional intelligence to create transparency as a core value and an ultimate goal. Every organization, from small business to large, private and public, can benefit from the lessons and ideas in The Power of Truth.

Title: What Would Google Do?

Author: Jeff Jarvis

Narrator: Jeff Jarvis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-02-11

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Whats the question every business should be asking itself? According to Jeff Jarvis, its What Would Google Do? If youre not thinking or acting like Google the fastest-growing company in the history of the world then youre not going to survive, let alone prosper, in the Internet age.

An indispensable manual for survival and success that asks the most important question todays leaders, in any industry, can ask themselves: What would Google do?

To demonstrate how to emulate Google, Jarvis lays out his laws of what he calls the new Google century, including such insights as: Think Distributed Become a Platform; Join the Post-Scarcity, Open-Source, Gift Economy; The Middleman Has Died; Your Worst Customers Are Your Best Friends and Your Best Customers Are Your Partners; Do What You Do Best; and Link to the Rest Get Out of the Way; Make Mistakes Well and More. He applies these principles not just to emerging technologies and the Internet, but to other industries - telecommunications, airlines, television, government, healthcare, education, journalism, and yes, book publishing - showing ultimately what the world would look like if Google ran it. The result is an astonishing, mind-opening book that will change the way listeners ask questions and solve problems.

Excellent book

Excellent book written and read by Jeff Jarvis himself.

As a fan of TWiG, I decided to listen to this audiobook since it is referred to on the show/podcast a lot. Very useful to understand the backdrop to the current events in the technology and media industries.

Recomended. A++++

WWGD? = WWID!

A brilliant and well presented book, taking a look at google from the outside in and how we can use the "google model" to grow the world and move to the future. WWGD = what would I do, and WSYD ... what should you do.

Being read by the author takes this book up a level as you can clearly tell jeffs passion.

Members Reviews:

A must read for any business owner or investor

As a business owner, this book completely opened my eyes to the importance of background checking and due diligence prior to making any key hires or investment decisions. The book is topical, easy to read and filled with dramatic examples and resource information.

As shown in the book, many times we make business decisions based on gut feels and misplaced trust. Those times when we decide to take the next step, it is usually done with a quick google search or reference call. The authors give numerous examples when such perfunctory checks fail to uncover pertinent "deal breaking" facts. It takes a lot more digging to ensure that you are protected and the book details how this is accomplished.

I highly recommend reading this book if you own your own business, are planning to buy another business or have any inclination to invest money with a third party.

An Excellent Company

This is an interesting read with a sad commentary on the lack of ethics and integrity overwhelming our society. Company's Corporate Resolutions is filling a very demonstrative need in sniffing out issues.

Five Stars

THANKS

Really Interesting Book For Corporate and Financial Decision Makers

Digging for Disclosure: Tactics for Protecting Your Firm's Assets From Swindlers, Scammers and Imposters. The target audience for this book are those who are in a position to hire key personnel - CEOs, CFOs, as well as high-net worth investors who are considering signing off on a deal to buy an existing business or invest money into someone else's business.

The book is written in a non-threatening style - you don't need an MBA to decipher the information. If you're going to hire someone to run your company, especially one publicly held, it's your responsibility to know who you're hiring.

The authors tell you where to find background information on potential employees,

investors and corporations. Also, they explain why a basic internet search, even a paid one, isn't good enough, because not every criminal conviction or proceeding ends up being properly recorded in computer databases. A good part of the prescreening process includes good old-fashioned footwork - either doing the work yourself or hiring a professional to slog through real-life paperwork in courthouses

A few ideas offered are really interesting and different - including the suggestion to implement a whistleblower hotline for existing businesses, encouraging employees to anonymously report problems.

The authors explain in very clear terms (with real-life examples offered) why a criminal history does matter, even completely unrelated convictions for family problems. A tumultuous home life hints at potential problems in the workplace when you're dealing with hiring at the top level in a corporation. Also, a potential investor who lies about their personal history can also be bad news for a company.
