The 55 Soft Skills That Guide Employee and Organizational Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
Most people have heard of soft skills and perhaps can list one or two. The authors, Dr. Tobin Porterfield and Bob Graham, both university professors with extensive business backgrounds, have uncovered a list of 55 soft skills that employees and organizations are increasingly unleashing to spur innovation and growth. This book lists each of the 55 soft skills, drawn from a review of hundreds of academic articles and their experiences in various industries, including manufacturing, energy, publishing, and start-ups. The book also explores how each of the soft skills might appear in the workplace. The result is a book that explains an important driver for success in this hyper-competitive, technology-first business climate. By blending soft skills with people's technical skills, those aptitudes, competencies and expertise most education focuses on, employees and organizations can overcome challenges in today's complex workplace. As organizations, and the leaders and employees that work for them, seek a new edge to achieve greater productivity and innovation, focusing greater attention on soft skills could be the difference maker. The authors discusses better-known soft skills like emotional intelligence, written communication and listening, as well as unrecognized soft skills like empathy, adapting to change, and persistence. Written in an actionable style, each chapter, which addresses a specific soft skill, serves as a powerful springboard for looking at work in new, exciting ways. The 55 Soft Skills That Guide Employee and Organizational Success is perfect for executives, leaders, and employees in all fields, at all levels. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Seeing the Light: Exploring Ethics Through Movies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 993min
In a visual culture such as ours, movies represent a compelling and surprisingly effective vehicle for ethical reflection. Through the stories that unfold on the big screen - everything from The Wizard of Oz to the Bourne trilogy - viewers can gain profound insights into the moral dimension of their own lives. By a close analysis of a variety of popular movies, foreign films, and documentaries, Seeing the Light: Exploring Ethics Through Movies represents an innovative approach to the study of ethics and the development of moral reasoning skills. Initial chapters focus on the human condition as a springboard for ethical reflection, followed by coverage of how seven major ethical theories can provide a framework for analyzing movies for their moral message. Later chapters reveal how movies help us reflect on ethical decision–making. A diverse range of classic and contemporary films are woven throughout the text to illustrate each argument. Filled with illuminating insights and thoughtful reflection, Seeing the Light reveals an ethical microcosm in the world of film that can help us think more clearly about the choices we face and decisions we make in the real world. Wanda Teays is a professor of philosophy and ethics at Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles, where she is also Chair of the Philosophy Department. She is the author or editor of numerous books and articles on ethics, global justice, and critical reasoning, including Bioethics and Culture; Bioethics, Justice and Health Care and Second Thoughts: Critical Thinking for a Diverse Society. ungekürzt.

Summary of Mary Beard's SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min
This is Roman history roughly from its mythological dawning at about 753 BC to the time when free adult males within the Roman Empire were declared citizens of Rome by Emperor Caracalla in 212 CE. Beard starts the history of ancient Rome with an account of how Lucius Sergius Catalina (Cataline) conspired against Rome and how he was foiled by the Senate. The book uses the conspiracy as a springboard to discuss various aspects of Roman civilization, including citizenship and its military as well as Rome's perceptions of social structures such as slavery, religion, and the position of women in society. Historical figures that greatly influenced the development of the empire are also discussed. The book proposes that the rise of the Roman Empire from a small settlement near the Tiber to the most powerful empire in ancient history was due to Rome's receptiveness to trying new ideas. Likewise, Beard believes that Roman civilization is still very relevant to our modern times, particularly to current-day discourses on freedom and protection of the state. SPQR is the abbreviated form of Senatus Populusque Romanos, meaning "the Senate and the People of Rome", which is ubiquitously etched in most Roman manuscripts, objects, and structures. This summary of Mary Beard's SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome is aimed at those who want to capture the gist of the book. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer.

Illusion of Justice: Inside Making a Murderer and America's Broken System , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 637min
Interweaving an insider's account of the true-crime saga and Netflix sensation Making a Murderer with other controversial cases from his career, this powerful memoir from Steven Avery's defense attorney reveals the flaws in America's criminal justice system and puts forth a provocative, persuasive call for reform. Not since The Thin Blue Line has there been a true-crime saga as engrossing as Making a Murderer. Captivating audiences across demographic lines, it made Steven Avery a household name and thrust defense attorney Jerome F. Buting - and his fight against America's dysfunctional criminal justice system - into the spotlight. In Illusion of Justice, Buting uses the Avery case as a springboard to examine the shaky integrity of our law enforcement and legal systems, which he has witnessed firsthand for nearly four decades. From his early career as a public defender to his success overturning wrongful convictions, his story provides a compelling insider's view into the high-stakes world of criminal defense and suggests that while in principle the law presumes innocence, in practice it more often than not presumes guilt. Combining narrative reportage with critical commentary and personal reflection, Buting explores his professional motivations, the high-profile cases that defined his career, and the path to much-needed criminal justice reform. Taking its place beside acclaimed best sellers such as Just Mercy and The New Jim Crow, Illusion of Justice is a tour de force from a relentless and eloquent advocate for justice who is determined to fulfill his professional responsibility - and, in the face of overwhelming odds, make the judicial system work as it is designed to. ungekürzt.
