The Vanishing American Corporation: Navigating the Hazards of a New Economy by Gerald F. Davis

Title: The Vanishing American Corporation: Navigating the Hazards of a New Economy Author: Gerald F. Davis Narrator: Jeff Hoyt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 18 minutes Release date: May 2, 2016 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: Contrary to popular opinion, the American public corporation is on the decline. Leading scholar Gerald Davis explains the social and economic pressures behind the rise and fall of the American corporation, the surprising negative consequences, and what the post-corporate future may hold. In an era of Citizens United and 8-figure paychecks for CEOs, most of us imagine that corporations have never been more powerful. Yet public corporations-companies that sell shares to the public, rather than being privately owned-are in retreat in the US, while alternative ways of organizing business, are on the rise. To many this will sound like good news-but Gerald Davis points out that there's a considerable downside. In their heyday public corporations provided good salaries, benefits, training, lifetime employment, and retirement pensions-features that are conspicuously absent from newer models championed by companies like Uber. The consequences of corporate decline in the US are stark: greater inequality, less mobility, and a frayed social safety net. This book explains the rise of the large American corporation, it's role in greatly expanding the middle class, and the economic pressures that are making it unsustainable. The future could see either increasing polarization, as careers turn into jobs and jobs turn into tasks, or a more democratic economy built from the grassroots. Davis explains how we got here and lays out the choices ahead of us.

Mobilized: An Insider’s Guide to the Business and Future of Connected Technology by SC Moatti

Title: Mobilized: An Insider’s Guide to the Business and Future of Connected Technology Author: SC Moatti Narrator: Natalie Hoyt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 33 minutes Release date: May 2, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: That person slumped over her cell phone is disengaged, isolated, lost in her own little world, right? Wrong, says SC Moatti. She's highly engaged—she's having a text conversation with a friend in Europe, playing a game with another, and looking for a good place to go to dinner with a third. Mobile technology has become such an integral part of how we interact that for many people, losing a cell phone is like losing a limb. And the most successful mobile apps are precisely those that enhance and multiply the frequency and power of our real-world interactions. Moatti—a technologist and industry insider—says these kinds of mobile apps adhere to three universal principles: They must have a simple design, enable the user to personalize them, and be continually improved by their makers through relentless attention to analytics. She uses examples from a host of great mobile app creators—Facebook, Yelp, Lyft, Tinder, Aerbnb, Trulia, WhatsApp, and more—to demonstrate how it's done. Even as technology evolves and smartphones are replaced by smaller mobile devices such as watches and contact lenses, these three principles will remain evergreen. The market is full of how-to books for creating apps, but no works examine what qualities make for great mobile products. Until now.

Shakti Leadership: Embracing Feminine and Masculine Power in Business by Raj Sisodia, Nilima Bhat

Title: Shakti Leadership: Embracing Feminine and Masculine Power in Business Author: Raj Sisodia, Nilima Bhat Narrator: Barbara McAfee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 39 minutes Release date: May 2, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: The current model of leadership isn't working for the planet because business has diminished values and outlooks that are traditionally thought of as feminine. Seeking to reclaim feminine power and restore balance for both women and men, this book charts a new path based on timeless Indian wisdom. Our current one-sided notion of a leader's power is a root cause of a host of contemporary problems, including social breakdown, environmental degradation, an epidemic of depression, and corruption in business and government. Whether we are male or female, we have been trained to value leadership qualities that are traditionally thought of as masculine: hierarchical, individualistic, militaristic. Reaching into ancient spiritual and mythical teachings, the authors revive a feminine archetype of leadership: generative, cooperative, creative, empathetic. In the Indian yogic tradition, these qualities are associated with Shakti, the source of creation, sustenance and transformation that powers the cycle of life. Bhat and Sisodia seek to restore a long-lost balance, for men and women alike, of masculine and feminine energies. All leaders should learn to value and understand 'Shakti Leadership,' meaning acting from a consciousness of life-giving creativity and sustainability to achieve self-mastery and be of selfless service. When leaders of both sexes learn to embrace this mindset, we can restore sanity, elevate humanity and heal the planet by evolving consciously together.

Warren Buffett's Ground Rules: Words of Wisdom from the Partnership Letters of the World's Greatest Investor by Jeremy C. Miller

Title: Warren Buffett's Ground Rules: Words of Wisdom from the Partnership Letters of the World's Greatest Investor Author: Jeremy C. Miller Narrator: Tom Perkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 12 minutes Release date: April 26, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.06 of Total 33 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 5 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: Using the letters Warren Buffett wrote to his partners between 1956 and 1970, a veteran financial advisor presents the renowned guru’s “ground rules” for investing—guidelines that remain startlingly relevant today. In the fourteen years between his time in New York with value-investing guru Benjamin Graham and his start as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett managed Buffett Partnership Limited, his first professional investing partnership. Over the course of that time—a period in which he experienced an unprecedented record of success—Buffett wrote semiannual letters to his small but growing group of partners, sharing his thoughts, approaches, and reflections. Compiled for the first time and with Buffett’s permission, the letters spotlight his contrarian diversification strategy, his almost religious celebration of compounding interest, his preference for conservative rather than conventional decision making, and his goal and tactics for bettering market results by at least 10% annually. Demonstrating Buffett’s intellectual rigor, they provide a framework to the craft of investing that had not existed before: Buffett built upon the quantitative contributions made by his famous teacher, Benjamin Graham, demonstrating how they could be applied and improved. Jeremy Miller reveals how these letters offer us a rare look into Buffett’s mind and offer accessible lessons in control and discipline—effective in bull and bear markets alike, and in all types of investing climates—that are the bedrock of his success. Warren Buffett’s Ground Rules paints a portrait of the sage as a young investor during a time when he developed the long-term value-oriented strategy that helped him build the foundation of his wealth—rules for success every investor needs today.

The Third Wave: An Entrepreneur's Vision of the Future by Steve Case

Title: The Third Wave: An Entrepreneur's Vision of the Future Author: Steve Case Narrator: Steve Case Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 30 minutes Release date: April 5, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.6 of Total 15 Ratings of Narrator: 3.4 of Total 5 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: The #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller from Steve Case—the co-founder of AOL—presents “a compelling roadmap for the future…that can help us make sense of the technological changes reshaping our economy and the world. A fascinating read” (Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO and founder of LeanIn.org). Steve Case—a pioneer who made the Internet part of everyday life—was on the leading edge of a revolution in 1985 when he co-founded AOL, the first Internet company to go public and the most successful business of the 1990s. Back then Case was an entrepreneur in an industry that hadn’t really been invented yet, but he had a sense how dramatically the Internet would transform business and society. In The Third Wave, he uses his insights garnered from nearly four decades of working as an innovator, investor, and businessman to argue the importance of entrepreneurship and to chart a path for future innovators. We are entering, as Case explains, the “Third Wave” of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leveraged the smartphone revolution. Now, Case argues, we’re entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major “real world” sectors such as health, education, transportation, energy, and food—and in the process change the way we live our daily lives. Part memoir, part manifesto, and part playbook for the future, The Third Wave explains the ways in which newly emerging technology companies will have to rethink their relationships with customers, with competitors, and with governments; and offers advice for how entrepreneurs can make winning business decisions and strategies—and how all of us can make sense of this ever-changing digital age.

Leadership Lessons from a UPS Driver: Delivering a Culture of We, Not Me by Ron Wallace

Title: Leadership Lessons from a UPS Driver: Delivering a Culture of We, Not Me Author: Ron Wallace Narrator: Wayne Shepherd Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 30 minutes Release date: April 4, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: Ron Wallace rose from driver to president of UPS International. Here he reveals the UPS secret sauce--culture--that allows it to outcompete younger companies that are not unionized, not sprawling, and not Brown. The steady, long-term success of UPS is sometimes a mystery to business observers. Founded over a century ago, UPS has been moving up, not down the Fortune 500 list. Massive in size, UPS has cultivated a family environment where promotion is almost always from within, lifetime employment is the norm and even the executives are union members. In one of the most mature of mature industries, UPS is consistently seen as a strong investment on Wall Street. What is the UPS secret sauce? In this groundbreaking book, Ron Wallace credits the unique 'people culture' of UPS as the distinguishing factor. Ron credits this culture with giving him his start in management and helping him rise from driver to president of UPS International. Different from the typical business memoir that celebrates the leader as celebrity, Ron's book focuses on the people and simple principles that taught him the UPS way. He exhorts his fellow leaders to grow their people, not just their business plans. Ron's key takeaway comes straight from the UPS founder and Ron's inspiration, Jim Casey: 'Treat your people well, and the company will flourish.' These simple principles can work in any company, whether or not brown is the wardrobe color.

Humble Consulting: How to Provide Real Help Faster by Edgar H. Schein

Title: Humble Consulting: How to Provide Real Help Faster Author: Edgar H. Schein Narrator: Joe Bronzi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 57 minutes Release date: April 4, 2016 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.25 of Total 4 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Management & Leadership Publisher's Summary: Nowhere else in the business world is communication more important than to consultants, moving between hundreds of communities every year. In an increasingly complex world, a new level of skill is required, but begins with a seemingly paradoxical skill for a consultant: how to ask rather than tell. This new book reveals what it takes for consultants of all types, as well as organizational leaders, to be really helpful in dealing with the complex, systemic, constantly changing organizational problems of today. They need to rapidly create a relationship of trust and openness that enables clients, subordinates, and team members to reveal what is really on their minds and to jointly develop a sense of what is the problem and what kind of adaptive response could best deal with it. Schein first introduced some of these concepts in his foundational 1969 book Process Consultation, which is still in use today. But now clients don't have the time or patience for the endless questioning that characterized much of process consultation. And clients still expect consultants to hand them answers. But Schein has come to realize that answers from outsiders are useless, because they're often working the wrong problem, don't understand the client organization's culture, or ignore the fact that constant change makes today's solutions obsolete tomorrow. To achieve a joint sense of what to do requires consultants and other helpers to develop a different kind of relationship with clients-a set of attitudes and behaviors that Schein calls humble consulting. Schein shows how helpers can display from the moment of first contact a level of caring and curiosity to move from relationships of professional distance to relationships of personalized trust and openness. And he gives many illustrations of the profound changes in mindset, behavior, and daily actions that flow from this new helpful consulting model.
