  • Soundview Executive Book Summaries, December 2011

    "Excellent narration, good content"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story

    Since you are on audible, so you love books but don't have time to read. May be also you have little time to listen to audio books, but listening to executive summaries will give you the idea, fair and square. You might loose a lot of the content along the way, but at least you would get to the point in 20 minutes for each book.

    More over, I loved having different narrator for each book, it kept me well awake and listening all the way.

    This was my first listen for this monthly production, and definitely worth the 4 credits. I especially likes the summary for "The Fifth Discipline". At least now I can tell if that book is worth of my credit or not, and when exactly would it fit in my reading plan.

    "Pretty Good, but could be Great"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story

    I subscribe to the print and Audible versions of the Wall Street Journal. Most days, I don't have time to unwrap the WSJ, let alone skim it. So, I make do with the Audible service.

    The WSJ Audible subscription is pretty good. Each day there is at least one article that is relevant to me. These are articles that I would read if I was perusing the WSJ in print.

    However, the WSJ Audible subscription could be greatly improved by making a two changes.

    First, I would like the service to read all of the the "What's News" blurbs from the front page. "What's News" is a good briefing. I also believe this would drive listeners to purchase the print version of the WSJ, if an article that they found compelling was not featured on the audible service.

    Second, I would like to hear more Marketplace articles. Finance and Money and Investing are good topics, but charts and graphs are not well suited to audio communication.

    If time length is a concern, I recommend adding the above content and removing the editorial. While the editor's opinions are interesting, hard business news and facts are a higher priority for me.

    "High expectations...delivered"

    Great for the business commuter. Very professionally done. Sometimes topics apply narrowly, such as to sales, or marketing, or CEOs, but I still find them interesting and hope to be able to apply much of the info I learn someday. Kind of like taking an MBA class on the way to work.

    Businesses hoping to survive over the long term will have to remake themselves into better competitors at least once along the way. These efforts have gone under many banners: total quality management, reengineering, rightsizing, restructuring, cultural change, and turnarounds, to name a few. In almost every case, the goal has been to cope with a new, more challenging market by changing the way business is conducted. In this article, John Kotter outlines the eight largest errors that can doom these efforts.

    If you want to know why so many organizations sink into chaos, look no further than their leaders' mouths. Over and over, leaders present grand, overarching - yet fuzzy - notions of where they think the company is going. The result is often sloppy behavior and misalignment that can cost a company dearly. Effective communication is a leader's most critical tool for doing the essential job of leadership.

    Chuck says: "Great insight, right to the point"
