Acerca de esta escucha
Imagine if you had the blueprint to create an agile and intelligent organization that could handle anything that an unpredictable business world threw at it.... First Be Nimble is that blueprint, presented by best-selling author Graham Winter in an enthralling business story packed with easy-to-apply ideas and powerful tools linked to online resources.
The story: fledgling international company McCrae's Fine Chocolates has lost its innovative edge and become a reactive bureaucracy. Through a mix of courage, collaboration and digital-age strategies, McCrae's confronts its challenges, breaks through the inevitable resistance to change, and transforms itself into a nimble and adaptive market leader. This is your personal guidebook to gearing up for fast and frequent change.
Learn how to: move, learn, and adapt - fast; replace change resistance with change resilience; thrive in ambiguity and uncertainty; break through business bottlenecks; and build a network of nimble, connected teams. First Be Nimble is a must-listen for everyone who wants their organization to thrive in this constantly changing business world.
Graham Winter is the best-selling author of Think One Team, founder of consultancy Think One Team International and a three-time Australian Olympic team chief psychologist. Graham is passionate about developing leaders and teams with the resilience and skills to seize opportunities.

Do you have a grip on your business, or does your business have a grip on you? All entrepreneurs and business leaders face similar frustrations: personnel conflict, profit woes, and inadequate growth. Decisions never seem to get made, or once made, fail to be properly implemented. But there is a solution. It’s not complicated or theoretical.

Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower were frustrated. After years of profitable, predictable growth, Swan Services was in a rut. Meetings were called and discussions held, but few decisions were made and even less got done. People were pointing fingers and assigning blame, but nothing happened to solve Swan’s mounting problems. It felt as though they were working harder than ever but with less impact. The company Eileen and Vic had founded and built for 10 years was a different place. It just wasn’t fun anymore.

At the time, the company was already well-known for doing things differently, reflecting the visionary - and frequently contrarian - principles of founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. If Eric and Jonathan were going to succeed, they realized they would have to relearn everything they thought they knew about management and business.

Much of what we hear about who gets to the top, and how, is wrong. Those who become chief executives set their sights on the C-suite at an early age. In fact, over 70 percent of the CEOs didn't have designs on the corner office until later in their careers. You must graduate from an elite college. In fact, only seven percent of CEOs in the dataset are Ivy League graduates - and eight percent didn't graduate from college at all. To become a CEO you need a flawless résumé. The reality: 45 percent of CEO candidates had at least one major career blowup.

In When They Win, You Win, Russ Laraway, the Chief People Officer at Qualtrics, provides a simple, coherent, and complete leadership standard that teaches organizational planners and managers how to develop incredible levels of employee engagement.

Being a CEO at any of the world’s largest companies is among the most challenging roles in business. Billions, and even trillions, are at stake—and the fates of tens of thousands of employees often hang in the balance. Yet, even when “can’t miss” high-achievers win the top job, very few excel. For those who shoulder the burden of being the one on whom everyone counts, a manual for excellence is sorely needed. To identify the 21st century’s best CEOs, the authors of CEO Excellence started with a pool of over 2,400 public company CEOs.

Great teams are built and maintained with great intention, though they can make it look deceptively easy. Too many teams engage in dysfunctional behaviors or fall into territorialism, apathy, and unproductive relationships. The result? An overwhelmed, unengaged, and stressed-out workforce that settles for average or poor performance.
