  Stop Managing Start Thinking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 367min

  A timely guide for surviving and keeping one's sanity in the dysfunctional work environments which have become all too common in the 21st century. (Lawrence Mantrone, Founder and Managing Director at Adaptyze LLC, and Adjunct Professor, NYU School of Professional Studies) Stop Managing Start Thinking delivers a vault's worth of disruption. It skewers the "friendly fascism" of corporate culture. It confronts the dis-economies of scale directly; and it challenges fallacies of all kinds, from deadlines to multitasking. With clarity and pragmatism, this anonymous author dares you to abandon the fog of orthodoxy and dares you to drag yourself out of the vortex of inefficiency. Plenty of blame is placed on all the forces against thinking, which have too long corrupted human productivity, but no industry is spared in this merciless dissection of modern management. ungekürzt.

  Socialism with a Human Face (eBook, PDF)

  East Germany's economic history is typically told as a story of the unravelling of an inherently flawed system. Yet, while the system's inefficiency is undeniable, its economic history was much richer than its comparatively poor economic performance suggests. For many who lived there, it was a system that, over its forty years, was capable of achievements and generally functioned at bearable levels. This book combines the insights of behavioural economics with archival research to peel away layers of rhetoric and assumptions about the East German economy and explore aspects of that underlying functionality. Through a series of cases studies that examine the establishment of socialist workplaces, the searches for productivity growth and efficiency, and the emergence of financial crisis, the book considers the system from the perspective of the humans who operated it and made the decisions that made it work. Unencumbered by political preconceptions, it offers a more realistic understanding of East German economic history than that derived from stagnant debates about the clash of systems. The new perspectives and approaches presented demonstrate that, extracted from its Cold War context, East Germany's economic history can be analysed for what it was, rather than for what it symbolised.

  Minding His Business: 40 Days to Excellence in Church Management , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 321min

  In most cases, when a church needs a lawyer, it hires a lawyer. When it needs a plumber, it hires a plumber. But when it comes to making business decisions, most churches convene well-meaning but often inexperienced volunteers to form a committee, then they take a month and vote on the color to paint a door in the nursery. Conducting business this way kills the vision and drains the passion out of right-brained, creative, relational pastors and ministry leaders. The modern church is being poorly managed and does not know it. The level of inefficiency and waste in today's churches is staggering. The church is not a business, but it conducts business, and in most cases, the people conducting church business are not trained and/or experienced in business. This book was written to convey basic business wisdom, management principles, and best practices to right-brained, creative, relational people (i.e. pastors). Unlike intimidating business textbooks, it is written in 40 short vignettes designed to be heard like daily devotionals. Each chapter deals with everyday challenges and offers real-life examples derived from more than 30 years of experience that show how to (and sometimes how not to) handle each situation. ungekürzt.

  Will Trump Be Great?: A Small Tool for Tracking President Trump's Performance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min

  Donald Trump defied expectations, by being nominated and then by being elected. But now the standard of success is even greater. How will President Trump compare with past presidents? Will he have the negotiating skills of Abe Lincoln? The crisis management ability of JFK? The communication capacity of Ronald Reagan? The job creation knack of Bill Clinton? The unifying power of George Washington? Will he be tremendous, big league? Or will history instead call Donald Trump a middling president? This short book gives examples of presidential greatness, and then invites you to consider your own judgments about Donald Trump's performance, as his presidency proceeds. The book reminds America and the world that as citizens of these United States we each have the right and the civic duty to publicly judge our presidents and to let them know the standards we want them to meet. As President Theodore Roosevelt said, "The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John W. Ogilvie.
