Common hiring practices are destined for failure. Here's how to hire the right people and build a company culture designed for long-term success. In a recent groundbreaking study, the training firm Leadership IQ found that 46 percent of all new hires fail within their first 18 months. But here's the real shocker: 89 percent fail for attitudinal reasons - not skills.

In Boundaries for Leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud gives leaders the tools and techniques they need to achieve the performance they desire - in their organizations and in themselves. Drawing on the latest findings from neuroscience, Dr. Cloud shows why it's critical for leaders to set the conditions that make people's brains perform at their highest levels. How do great leaders do this? One way is through the creation of "boundaries" - structures that determine what will exist and what will not.

She has earned growing fame in recent years with her vital new approach to effective management, Radical Candor. Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care Personally at the same time that you Challenge Directly.

In his sixth fable, best-selling author Patrick Lencioni takes on a topic that almost everyone can relate to: the causes of a miserable job. Millions of workers, even those who have carefully chosen careers based on true passions and interests, dread going to work, suffering each day as they trudge to jobs that make them cynical, weary, and frustrated. It is a simple fact of business life that any job, from investment banker to dishwasher, can become miserable.

For decades The One Minute Manager has helped millions achieve more successful professional and personal lives. While the principles it lays out are timeless, our world has changed drastically since the book's publication. The exponential rise of technology, global flattening of markets, instant communication, and pressures on corporate workforces to do more with less - including resources, funding, and staff - have all revolutionized the world in which we live and work.

- Empowers attendees to politely speak up and get a meeting back on track, or graciously get out, without being fired.
- Shows how hosts can capitalize on technology, learning to crowd-source problems and increase participation.
- Defines surefire methods to get meetings to start and end on time and not have the speaker read the slides.
- STOPS over-invitation syndrome.
- The author has appeared before many major corporate clients, and was named a "Top Business Professional under 40" by American City Business Journals.
Your meetings do not have to bore, nor must they suck. Instead, get the winning techniques in Boring Meetings Suck, and make your meetings awesome in their engagement and productivity, or stop having them!

This book will not fail to disappoint.
Would you try another book from Jon Petz and/or L. J. Ganser?
Never.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Don't Know.
How could the performance have been better?
Different script. Different speaker. Otherwise just fine.
What character would you cut from Boring Meetings Suck?
The speaker.
Any additional comments?
I was hoping it at least would be fun to listen to. The book is extremely tedious. It really took me by surprise. There are so many other Audible books that are worth the time.
The book is so lacking in substance. Much of it is difficult to believe. I don't think that there was any research done. Lines like "buckle your seat belt and hold on to your shorts" are so over promising. I need to get some antidepression meds.

Boring book and useless
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If I have found useful recommendations to avoid boring meetings. But no, the book is full of useless tips that in the real world no one would apply. For example, remove the chairs of the meeting room. Verify the dimensions of the meeting room. Prepare for meetings (the day is full of meetings, and I should spend more time preparing for them?).
Has Boring Meetings Suck turned you off from other books in this genre?
I have not read 1000 of books on meetings, but this one really sucks.
Which scene was your favorite?
The end (which I didn't hear because it was too boring, I stop hearing it at the beginning of the last chapter).
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Boring Meetings Suck?
All that is useless, that means, an important part of the book.
Any additional comments?
Enough said.
