Acerca de esta escucha
Hear the wisdom of the recent past....
The words of these leaders are perfect for these disrupting times.
Vijay Eswaran on starting each day with an hour of silence. Ewald Kist, CEO of ING, weighs in on the importance of physical fitness. NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott on making life’s transitions. Frank McGinnis, Emcor Group CEO on emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. TV game show host Howie Mandel on the risk of getting caught up in the emotion of the moment. James Morgan, Applied Materials CEO on leading through economic slumps. Anne Mulcahy, Xerox CEO, on leading through disaster. Clarence Otis, Darden Restaurants CEO, on gaining market share when the pie shrinks.
Jack Welch says “fire the bottom 10 percent of all workers." Julie Scardina says to treat them like animals.
Annie Duke, who has been fired by Donald Trump, says women should be thankful for men who underestimate them and “use it to their advantage.
Old-timers don’t mince words...
T.J. Rodgers says to never settle a lawsuit no matter how expedient. Quarterback Steve Young says no decision-maker ever has perfect information, so quit huddling, and put the ball in the air. Mark Cuban uses language that is not allowed in Audible's description.
Business journalist Del Jones - not to be confused with Dow Jones - has interviewed hundreds of CEOs, athletes, coaches, and entertainers. He combs through volumes of his notes, trims out the puffery, and bullets the best leadership tips of 64 men and women, most of them recently retired.
Among them: Steve Appleton, Brenda Barnes, Larry Brown, John Chambers, Michael Dell, Mike Eruzione, Jamie Houghton, Jeffrey Immelt, Tom Joyner, A.G. Lafley, Ronnie Lott, Howie Mandel, Wynton Marsalis, Thomas Monaghan, Anne Mulcahy, Robert Nardelli, Clarence Otis, Jeff Rich, Sally Ride, Irene Rosenfeld, Ron Sargent, Henry Silverman, Jonathan Schwartz, and Sandy Weill.
A very quick listen with bullet after bullet of wisdom. It’s like having sages around the campfire for an evening....
Fred Smith says to put down this book and listen further back into history. To Alexander the Great - or, at least, to Martin Luther King.
“I’m proud to be a part of this book. I’ve fielded unusual questions from the business and sports media. The oddest question ever posed to me was when Del Jones asked if I was spanked as a child.” (Joe Moglia, former CEO of TD Ameritrade, now head football coach at Coastal Carolina University)

Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

We're in the middle of an epidemic of average. So-called "normal" people get up every day, go to work, do what's asked of them, leave promptly at five, and return home to sit on the couch and watch TV. Society tells us that this is what it means to lead a balanced life. Don't stress too much or work too hard. Your career isn't everything. But Grant Cardone thinks this preoccupation with balance has really just given an excuse to be mediocre.

Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.
