Let the business reformation begin. The premise of this audiobook’s message and movement is simple. The title and role of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is obsolete. CEOs are command and control holdouts based on the archaic thinking and ways of the Industrial Age. We're well into the Digital Age and heading into the Age of Purpose and Meaning. We need a reformation in business. New times call for new leadership.

Digital technologies are disrupting organizations of every size and shape, leaving managers scrambling to find a technology fix that will help their organizations compete. This book offers managers and business leaders a guide for surviving digital disruptions - but it is not a book about technology. It is about the organizational changes required to harness the power of technology. The authors argue that digital disruption is primarily about people and that effective digital transformation involves changes to organizational dynamics and how work gets done.

Excellent if you don't have no exposure to finance
What did you like most about Financial Intelligence?
As a broad basic overview it is excellent.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The profit and loss statement was my favourite, although the balance sheet came in a close second. Seriously though, why does Audible continually ask questions like this for non-fiction books??? I think they do it just to push my buttons. I mean I love Audible, but crap like asking non relevant questions for certain types of books should be an easy fix.
What does Tom Zingarelli bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
There is an accompanying PDF, so even if you listen to the audio you can always refer to the PDF where required.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Seriously? Seriously???? Yup, when i read financial statements I always cry, unless of course they are the financial statements of our local or federal government, then I just laugh at the abuse.
Any additional comments?
I have a background in finance and bought this as a brief refresher. For that purpose it was a waste of time. If you do not have a background, or only have a brief exposure to finance/ accounting then this book is an excellent start. Happy listening.
