Title: More than Love

Author: Natasha Gregson Wagner

Narrator: Natasha Gregson Wagner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:42:33

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-20

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

More Than Love is a memoir of loss, grief, and coming of age, set amid Hollywood glamour and royalty, by Natasha Gregson Wagner, the oldest daughter of Natalie Wood and her second husband Richard Gregson. Beginning with the night Natalie Wood went sailing on the family boat with her husband Robert Wagner off the coast of Catalina and never returned, we meet the young Natasha at the age of 11, hearing the news of her mother’s disappearance on the radio while having a sleepover at a friend’s house. From this turning point of profound and shattering loss, Natasha stretches back to tell the story of her cosseted childhood in a warm, bustling family where her mother loved to decorate, entertain, keep ducks in the backyard, and often overprotected her daughters.

 

An inside look at Natalie’s classic movies—Miracle on 34th Street, Rebel without a Cause, Splendour in the Grass, West Side Story and Bob and Ted and Carol and Alice, among others—More Than  Love also offers a riveting, first-hand portrait of what it is like to experience a Hollywood childhood, where Elia Kazan, known as Gadge, for his love of gadgets, is lounging by the pool, Ruth Gordon is your godmother, and Josh Evans, the son of Ali MacGraw, is your first boyfriend.

 

As Natasha steps back into the past, looking through the carefully preserved archive of her mother’s letters, notes, and photographs, and comes to terms with her grief, a vivid and magnetic portrait of Natalie Wood emerges —the child star, the young actress, the teen idol, the young wife, mother and eventual hostess extraordinaire. Along the way Natasha comes to terms with her mother’s legacy and her own loss: making her peace, having her own daughter, and forging a strong and independent sense of self.

Title: Defcon 1 Direct Selling: Manual for Field Leaders

Author: Randy Gage

Narrator: Randy Gage

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:52:13

Language: English

Release date: 07-14-20

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership, Sales & Retail

Summary:

DEFCON is the US military acronym for 'Defense Readiness Condition.' DEFCON 1 is reserved only for imminent catastrophic events, like a nuclear war. Luckily, you don't have to fend off missile attacks in direct selling, but you will face some extremely difficult challenges and urgent crises leading your MLM team.

It takes much more than a positive attitude and motivational words to be a successful field leader. True leadership requires you to deal with messy, complicated scenarios when there is not always a clear-cut solution. Many of these challenges are caused by factors completely out of your control—from economic, regulatory, and political setbacks, to having top leaders quit, to companies going out of business, and a host of other issues. It's at times like these, when it seems like your team is falling apart, that you must draw upon your resilience, persistence, and character to ride out the storm and lead your team through the chaos. This indispensable resource will enable you to: create a team culture of maximum readiness; deal with toxic leaders and effectively handle conflict resolution; use your leadership to make your team more powerful and build their self-esteem; handle corporate incompetence, poor decisions, and PR crises; and know what to do when you or a team leader leave a company.

Summary:

In this perennial bestseller, embraced by organizations and industries worldwide, globally preeminent management thinkers W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne challenge everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success. Recognized as one of the most iconic and impactful strategy books ever written, Blue Ocean Strategy, now updated with fresh content from the authors, argues that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves (spanning more than 100 years across thirty industries), the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors but from creating 'blue oceans'—untapped new market spaces ripe for growth.

Blue Ocean Strategy presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant and outlines principles and tools any organization can use to create and capture their own blue oceans. This expanded edition includes: a new preface by the authors: 'Help! My Ocean Is Turning Red'; updates on all cases and examples in the book; and two new chapters and an expanded third one—'Alignment, Renewal, and Red Ocean Traps'—that address some of the most pressing questions readers have asked over the years.

Title: HBR's 10 Must Reads on Boards

Author: Harvard Business Review

Narrator: Randye Kaye, William Sarris

Length: 07:46:54

Language: English

Release date: 07-07-20

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership

Summary:

Serving on a board is like having a second full-time job.

Earning a seat on a board is a rite of passage for senior leaders. Serving on a board is an opportunity to share your skills and extend your reach beyond your own organization as you help select, appoint, and review the performance of an organization's senior leadership team, determine compensation and incentive plans, approve strategic decisions, and ensure the financial well-being of the organization in both the short- and long-term. But in today's increasingly complex business environment, serving on a board also means working to address detailed issues such as increasing diversity on the board itself and in the organization, ensuring a risk-mitigation plan that prepares the organization for everything from hackers to sexual predators, and navigating big-picture challenges such as the unprecedented pace of change and disruption—all while managing financials and shareholder expectations.

We've combed through hundreds of articles in the Harvard Business Review archive and selected the ten most important ones to help you address classic challenges such as increasing diversity, ensuring a culture that reflects company values, and providing strategic oversight while also addressing emerging issues such as shareholder activism, cybersecurity, and ever-shifting regulations.
