    The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min
    Introducing the new, realistic loyalty pact between employer and employee. The employer-employee relationship is broken, and managers face a seemingly impossible dilemma: the old model of guaranteed long-term employment no longer works in a business environment defined by continuous change, but neither does a system in which every employee acts like a free agent. The solution? Stop thinking of employees as either family or free agents. Think of them instead as allies. As a manager you want your employees to help transform the company for the future. And your employees want the firm to help transform their careers. But this win-win scenario will only happen if both sides trust each other enough to commit to mutual investment and mutual benefit. Sadly, trust in the business world is hovering at an all-time low. We can rebuild that lost trust with straight talk that recognizes the realities of the modern economy. So paradoxically, the alliance begins with managers acknowledging that great employees might leave the company, and with employees being honest about their own career aspirations. By putting this new alliance at the heart of your talent-management strategy, you'll not only bring back trust, you'll be able to recruit and retain the entrepreneurial individuals you need to adapt to a fast-changing world. These individuals - flexible, creative, and with a bias toward action - thrive when they're on a specific "tour of duty", when they have a mission that's mutually beneficial to employee and company that can be completed in a realistic period of time. Coauthored by the founder of LinkedIn, this bold but practical guide for managers and executives will give you the tools you need to recruit, manage, and retain the kind of employees who will make your company thrive in today's world of constant innovation and fast-paced change. ungekürzt.

    The Ultimate Roger Dawson Library: Topics for Success, Hörbuch, Digital, 679min
    The Nightingale-Conant Corporation is pleased to present The Ultimate Roger Dawson Library - a collection of the greatest ideas in sound ever recorded by one of Nightingale-Conant’s most popular and most impactful authors. All the way back in 1985, Nightingale-Conant published Roger’s first full-scale audio program - on six cassettes - called The Secrets of Power Negotiating. At the time, Roger was a little-known speaker and entrepreneur from England, and during that time, no one had any idea how the product would sell. The Secrets of Power Negotiating not only became one of the best-selling audio products in Nightingale-Conant history - with hundreds of thousands of copies sold - but it quickly became a favorite of some of Nightingale’s best customers. The Secrets of Power Negotiating was invariably among their top five all-time favorite audio albums. That initial success led to several more top-selling audio programs over the years - The Secrets of Power Persuasion, The Secrets of Power Performance, The Secrets of Power Negotiating for Salespeople, Confident Decision Making, The Weekend Millionaire’s Real Estate Investing Program (coauthored with Mike Summey), and several others. You’ll hear the most renowned, classic segments from all of Roger’s programs in this audio presentation. Roger Dawson, born in England, came to this country in 1962, becoming a US citizen in 1972. His business background includes being president of one of California's largest real estate companies, with 28 offices, 540 sales associates, and a volume of over $400 million per year. As a full-time speaker since 1982, he has trained managers and salespeople at the top companies and business associations throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Taiwan, China, New Zealand, and Australia. He was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame in 1991. Business executives love Roger Dawson for his ability to teach their people how to improve profits Language: English. Narrator: Roger Dawson.

    How to Start a Consulting Business from Scratch: Step by Step Guide: How I Became a Marketing Consultant in Just 3 Months , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    In case you wonder if you have what it takes to be a consultant, without knowing you, I would say you may have it in you. But if you have doubt, then maybe it is time to do some self-evaluation and realization and see if you really have it in you. Listen on and I will tell you what you need to find within yourself to know if you can do this job or not. I coauthored this book with Jim because I was motivated and inspired by him; he showed me that everyone has something in them that can help others. The very first day we met, he told me, "As long as you know a little more than the next guy, you are an expert on that topic." Later he told me it was Tim Ferris who said that originally. I never thought I had any skills to be a consultant, but he did convince me otherwise, took me under his wing and taught me everything I know, and here I am. Before you listen to the book, have an open mind - do not doubt yourself in advance. Remember, the very first thing you need in this field is confidence, then you need some expertise on the subject. But confidence is what can make or break you. Looking back at my own life, I never thought I could be a marketing consultant; I don't have the education nor do I have the skills for it. But he taught me it is not the education that makes you a great consultant. If that were the case, then every PhD in marketing would take our job. It is the mix of confidence, knowledge, and willingness to learn and adopt that makes someone a great and successful consultant.

    The Big Chair: The Smooth Hops and Bad Bounces from the Inside World of the Acclaimed Los Angeles Dodgers General Manager , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 723min
    An unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look at the career of famed former Los Angeles Dodgers general manager (a position also known as "The Big Chair"), whose tenure spanned nine of the most exciting and turbulent years in the franchise's history. During his tenure with the Dodgers, Colletti had the highest winning percentage of any general manager in the National League. In The Big Chair (coauthored by Joseph A. Reaves), he lets listeners in on the real GM experience - something no one in the position has ever done before - sharing the inner workings of three of the top franchises in the sport, revealing the out-of-the-headlines machinations behind the trades, the hires and the deals; how the money really works; how the decision making really works; how much power the players really have and why - the real brass tacks of some of the most pivotal decisions made in baseball history that led to great success along with heartbreak and failure on the field. Baseball fans will come for the grit and insight, stay for the heart, and pass it on for the wisdom. Ned Colletti began his MLB career with his beloved hometown team, the Chicago Cubs, more than 35 years ago. He worked in Chicago for a dozen years and was in the front office when the Cubs won the National League East in 1984 and 1989, after which he moved on as director of baseball operations for the SF Giants. By 1996 he became the assistant GM for the Giants before being hired as the GM in Los Angeles in 2006. There he oversaw the Dodgers through the highly publicized and acrimonious divorce battle between Frank and Jamie McCourt that culminated in the equally highly publicized sale of the team. He was present at the press conference where Don Mattingly, having just watched his team eliminated from the playoffs, used the postseason conference to vehemently discuss his lack of a contract extension. He brought marquee names like Greg Maddux and Clayton Kershaw to LA as well as marque ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ned Colletti.

    Magician's End: Book Three of the Chaoswar Saga , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1025min
    As it began, so shall it end - in magic, mystery, and majesty... Magician's End Thirty years ago, Raymond E. Feist wrote his first novel, Magician, a story about an orphan boy named Pug who is thrust by a war into captivity in an alien world, only to rise from slavery to become a Master Magician. Magician introduced readers to Midkemia and the Riftwars, an epic series of battles between Good and Evil that have scarred this remarkable realm for generations. Now, after 29 books (authored and coauthored), Feist delivers the crowning achievement of his renowned best-selling career: Magician's End, the final chapter of the Chaoswar Saga and the climax of his extraordinary Riftwar Cycle. An uneasy quiet has settled upon Midkemia in the wake of a surprise invasion. But the land is far from peaceful. Leaderless, the Kingdom is on the brink of anarchy and civil war, unless Hal conDoin, Duke of Crydee, and his brothers can rally their allies to crown a new king. They must move quickly, for war has left the land vulnerable to an agency of horrific destruction not of this world. No one is safe, not even the Star Elves whose city deep in the Grey Tower Mountains has come under attack by an ancient darkness that seeks to extinguish every living thing in Midkemia. Yet the bravery of determined warriors - brothers in blood and arms - is not enough to ensure the Kingdom's preservation without the magic of the Master Sorcerer Pug. A powerful spell has trapped him, his son Magnus, and two unlikely allies in an unfamiliar realm, and they must find their separate ways home - a journey of memory and discovery that will illuminate the truth of the destiny that awaits them. But to save Midkemia - and everything he has fought for and all he cherishes - Pug will have to pay the ultimate price. A breathtaking tale of elves and men, love and hate, ambition and sacrifice, intrigue and brotherhood, war and peace, Magician's End/i ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Meagher.
