Title: Crazy Is a Compliment

Subtitle: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags

Author: Linda Rottenberg

Narrator: Linda Rottenberg

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-02-14

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 88 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

In the tradition of both The Lean Startup and Lean In, a manifesto about taking smart risks in pursuit of big dreams.

Linda Rottenberg has spent her career helping innovators think big. "If people aren't calling you crazy, you aren't thinking big enough," she says. These days taking chances isn't just for young college dropouts in hoodies. Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit, or a mom-and pop store, everybody needs to think and act like a changemaker. We all need to be nimble, adaptive, daring, and maybe even a little crazy, or risk being left behind.

But how do you take smart risks and still achieve big success? That's Rottenberg's expertise as the CEO and cofounder of Endeavor, the worlds leading organization devoted to identifying, mentoring, and investing in fast-growing businesses. Since 1997, Endeavor has screened 40,000 candidates and handpicked 1,000 entrepreneurs in 20 countries - then helped them take the crucial steps to grow their organizations and transform their communities. In 2012, Endeavor entrepreneurs generated six billion in revenues and provided 225,000 jobs.

Now Rottenberg draws on her unique experience to show how we can all take manageable steps to achieve our dreams. Crazy Is a Compliment offers a blend of inspiring stories and practical tools for getting started, going bigger, and integrating work and family. As she writes, "Since everybody has to take risks these days, we all need to be able to derisk risk."

Written with wisdom, wit, and passion, Crazy is a Compliment is a rallying cry for a new approach to business and a blueprint for personal change. The good news is that anybody can initiate those changes. "There are no admission criteria. There is no wardrobe requirement. There is no secret vote. Entrepreneurship is for everyone."

You will enjoy this book - history and what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Motivational. This is not a how to book- it provides real world examples & warns of vanity metrics.

Relatable and relevant

As a female entrepreneur this book was very relevant and structured in a way that's easy to relate to as she pulls from the well-known founders and brands to illustrate points. Highly recommend to all females in business.

Reading The Master Key System will give you the techniques and strategies to solve your problems and find the path to all of your business goals.

Members Reviews:

The Master Key System is a brilliant presentation about life and the power of positive and creative thinking

The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel was originally published in 1912, over a century ago. One would think that the material in it has been superseded by more contemporary stuff, but to conclude such would be an error of magnitude. The Master Key System is a brilliant presentation about life, the power of positive and creative thinking, and moreover, and possibly most importantly, that with training and discipline, ANYONE can control their circumstances and make their dreams come true. We've all heard about the the law of attraction, or how like-attracts-like, or that positive thinking can get us to our dreams - and there are dozens, maybe hundreds of motivational speakers and disciplines which have popped up on the world's radar in the last few decades alone, all of which pitch the very same philosophical and spiritual truths which Haanel detailed in his book over 100 years ago. The book is written like an instructional manual, in 24 parts, with lessons to be done in order to gain practical skills with the material. This is a book which could easily be lost to us if not put in the spotlight where it belongs along with other classics, because it is at the very bedrock of many of the most modern and contemporary movements, and even possibly, religious practices which are in vogue today. Some might contend that Haanel was not the only one in the New Thought Movement of his time who propagated these concepts, and that may well be true, but one cannot deny the truth of what he has so carefully elucidated in this terribly simple rendering of a philosophical and spiritual classic. I end this review with this quotation from his book:

"All thought is a form of energy, a rate of vibration, but a thought of the Truth is the highest rate of vibration known and consequently destroys every form of error in exactly the same way that light destroys darkness; no form of error can exist when the "Truth" appears, so that your entire mental work consists in coming into an understanding of the Truth. This will enable you to overcome every form of lack, limitation or disease of any kind."

Read This.

Great Read, like the format. Quite the Philosophical perspective.

very well written and a wonderful study on mindfulness

the master key system is intriquing.

Title: Supply Chain Management for Competitive Advantage

Author: Ade Asefeso MCIPS MBA

Narrator: Al Remington

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-14

Publisher: Ade World LLC

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Supply chain competence affects your bottom-line in more direct ways than you might realize. In this book we reviewed the role of controlling cost of sales through supply chain competencies and its effect on the corporate financial statements.The balancing act of maintaining a high level of service and low costs is becoming harder for supply chain managers as businesses try to meet the growing customer mantra of "more for less". This pressure comes at a time when business is becoming more global, supply chains are lengthening, and competition is on the rise. Although this challenge is not new, the outlook is that it will intensify as a number of factors; economic, regulatory, and market-driven become more acute. Consequently, supply chain performance will have increasingly significant impact on overall business success.

Title: Balanced Scorecard

Author: Ade Asefeso MCIPS MBA

Narrator: Barbara H. Scott

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-13-14

Publisher: Ade Asefeso MCIPS MBA

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

The balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that is used extensively in business and industry, government, and non-profit organizations worldwide to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organization, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organization performance against strategic goals.

The key problem identified in business is that many companies tend to manage their businesses based solely on financial measures. While that may have worked well in the past, the pace of business in today's world requires more comprehensive measures. Though financial measures are necessary, they can only report what has happened in the past - where a business has been, but not where it is headed. It is like driving a car by looking in the rear-view mirror.

Members Reviews:

A Sheer waste of time

I had a basic understanding of the Balanced Scorecard before I started on this book. I did not add anything to my knowledge by listning to two hours of this performance by which time I gave up in a wave of exasperation. Either the authour is a charlatan or he is a very bad writer. The chapter headings are perfect, everything that you want to know..but the rest of the book is a mish mash of some business terms repeated over and over again. It is ... read the title again

Title: Low-Hanging Fruit

Subtitle: 77 Eye-Opening Ways to Improve Productivity and Profits

Author: Jeremy Eden, Terri Long

Narrator: Anthony Haden Salerno

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-13-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Every day, thousands of hidden and ignored problems frustrate workers and customers and, in turn, reduce profits. The key to finding and fixing these problems is to engage employees closest to the work and closest to the customer in new ways so they can contribute their ideas. This book provides rules that, if followed, will allow employees to harvest all the low hanging fruit - and some that is not so low hanging - that will grow earnings, make customers happier, and increase morale. Some examples of these rules include:

Members Reviews:

A fantastic "pick-and-choose" implementation manual

Very good book for professionals seeking an easy read, but also to receive some good nuggets of information that can take their ideas to the next level. Personally, I felt as though most of the "good stuff" came toward the middle to the end of the book. Also, it is curious as to why they set up the book with each idea representing a chapter so that many of the chapters were only a couple pages in length. For me, it would have benefited the author to go into more details and examples for each idea.

Because there were so many chapters, I found a couple of instances where the authors, co-written by Jeremy Eden and Terri Long, contradicted themselves (slightly) on some minor points. For example, in chapter 10, they claim you should not brainstorm for solutions, instead brainstorm for problems. Yet The solution-finding sessions that they refer to later in the book sound a lot like brainstorming to me but that's just my take.

With that said, the flip side advantage to many chapters with many ideas is that you can pick and choose what works best for your organization. For example, chapter 50, "For Big Results, Focus on Small Ideas" was a great chapter and ended up being a hit at my company because we communicated incentives to all of our supervisors and superintendents to come up with ideas for small changes that could be made in their areas that would benefit our bottom line where small = about $25,000 in savings. Well when you have over 100 functions in your company, this idea pays off quite nicely, especially if you can realize those savings YOY. So for that 2-page chapter, it was money worth spending on the book.

Concise and highly usable advice from two obviously seasoned pros

I have consulted to many companies, and I think this (concise and accessible) book is mandatory for businesses of virtually any size. There is no company that can't benefit from better utilization of its resources, greater efficiency in how it manages its expenses, and an all-around more thorough understanding of its true problems - and opportunities - and how to best resolve the problems and capitalize on the opportunities.

Unlike so many other books on business that have one or two great ideas padded out to several hundred pages, "Low Hanging Fruit" presents, well, 77 distinct ideas and concepts. Many will have differing relevance to companies at various times in their evolution, but the overall impact is compelling. As others here have mentioned, the magic is in how easily the authors apply the concepts to a variety of situations and examples. It's clear that they've truly - and painfully - been there and done that.

I've read it twice so far, since the ideas come so quickly.
