Acerca de esta escucha
Corporations and their boards are under growing attack for many reasons. Governance issues are front and center, yet there is little understanding of what directors and boards actually do, even among directors themselves.
In this audiobook, the cloistered world of the boardroom is demystified, brought into the sunlight and explained, with respect and compassion. Read by the author, this audiobook provides information, history, and context essential to anyone seeking to understand how corporations and their stewards - the board of directors - can and should function. Directors, aspiring directors, investors, and students of corporate behavior will all enjoy this lively description.

CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side?

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the 21st century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as "the dean of this country's business and management philosophers" ( Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management - the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done". This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive.

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.

In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

Everybody knows there’s money to be made in stocks. But the reality is only a fraction of investors actually turn profits. If you’re a retail investor with no professional experience…and you don’t have access to all the “insider knowledge” and resources that institutional investors have…you’re more or less gambling your money away.

It’s annoying, but the book.
It may be a good book. But it’s annoying to listen que author’s nose and breathing noises all the time. This proves that authors should never read their books. Avoid at all cost. After an hour I had to stop, the noises distract your attention.

Great Content, Poor Recording Quality
This book provides a fascinating evolution of corporations and boards. The author and narrator has a pleasant voice, but it sounds like this was recorded on a low-budget mic in a less-than-soundproof room. There are also a number of instances where she stumbles over her words a bit but didn't bother with re-takes.
Would love to see this professionally recorded and marketed.

Don’t bother
I’m not sure where the revolution is. It most definitely not in this book. It was a dry history of governance peppered with antidotes from the authors career that were only loosely relevant. Listening to it once would be bad enough but the audio edit is so bad you get to listen to most of it twice along with some lovely audio background of traffic and white noise.
