Listen Up! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
Mike Abrashoff learned about leadership as captain of the USS Benfold, a guided-missile destroyer that he and his crew transformed from a dysfunctional disgrace into the best damn ship in the U.S. Navy. He told that story in a best-selling book, It's Your Ship. Now he's distilling the lessons of that experience, plus what he's learned as a consultant and speaker, into a series of brief, practical guides to effective leadership. This is one of them, and it's about the power of listening.A leader who hasn't learned to listen is working under a huge handicap. It may be possible to lead without listening, Douglas MacArthur-style, but that approach is twice as hard, half as fast, and prone to disaster. "Even as I rose through the ranks of the Navy, I found that listening didn't always come naturally to me," Abrashoff says. "Often, I merely pretended to hear people. How many times had I barely glanced up from my work when a sailor or officer came up to the bridge or into my cabin? I wasn't paying attention; I was marking time until I could give orders. When I took command of Benfold, I was determined to do things differently - and I had to move fast." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jay Snyder.

City of Friends , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min
She glanced at her phone again. There were appeals from the girls, from her colleagues, a text from Steve reading, with uncharacteristic imperiousness, 'Call me.' She couldn't. She couldn't call anyone.... She leaned forward, gripping the edge of the bench, and stared at the ground. God, she thought, am I losing my mind? Is this what happens when you lose your job? The day Stacey Grant loses her job feels like the last day of her life. Or, at least, the only life she'd ever known. For who was she if not a City high-flyer, Senior Partner at one of the top private equity firms in London? As Stacey starts to reconcile her old life with the new - one without professional achievements or meetings but instead long days at home with her dog and ailing mother, waiting for her successful husband to come home - she at least has The Girls to fall back on. Beth, Melissa and Gaby. The Girls, now women, had been best friends from the early days of university right through their working lives, and for all the happiness and heartbreaks in between. But these career women all have personal problems of their own, and when Stacey's redundancy forces a betrayal to emerge that was supposed to remain secret, their long cherished friendships will be pushed to their limits.... ungekürzt.

Bad Daddy: Bad Boy Erotica Short Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min, (USK 18)
Where are you taking me? My best friend since forever, Juliana, gave me a sideways glance before turning her attention back to the road. "Relax, Dani. You're going to love this place." I shot her a skeptical look. "We are pretty far from our side of town. Why are we here?" "Because the best parties are over here. Don't tell me you're afraid to be downtown?" I shook my head. "Of course not," I lied. I was really scared. My dad never let me come downtown without him or Conroy, our driver, bringing me. A lot of stuff went on down here at night. Bad stuff. Stuff he didn't want me involved with. I guess Juliana's parents didn't have such trepidations. If they even knew she was out here.... "Um, where did you tell your parents we were going?" I asked her. She glanced at me again. "The same as what you told your parents," she answered. "We were going out to dinner with Samantha." "And if they find out that we aren't with Samantha, I don't know about your parents, but mine will kill me. Worse than kill me. What's worse than being killed?" "Calm down, Dani," she said, patting me on the knee. "You know Samantha will.... " WARNING: This book contains sexual content and is intended for mature audiences only. 18+ ungekürzt.

Dare to Dream: Agent Max, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
He could see his wife eyes wide and her face etched with confusion, worry and fright while her hair resembled a tumbleweed. Her knuckles had gone white from clutching a small parcel of clothes and other belongings to her chest. She sat very still in the passenger seat with her knees so close to her body that she was almost curled into the fetal position. If it wasn't for the dire nature of the situation, he could find her disposition laughable. Max glanced into the rear-view mirror to check on the children. Their faces almost mirrored their mothers except Joshua kept looking back nervously as though he expected the car to be descended on by murderous agents at any moment. Esther on the other hand was biting her nails with such vigor that she was likely to be biting through the bone soon. Now that they know and have experienced the dark side to his alternate world, Max had long ago prepared for this kind of situation but his family were innocent to a life where this kind of plan would even be necessary. As he sped down the expressway to his safe house, Max knew that his family would never be the same again. This is not how he intended to spend his Friday night. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Spanking for Teacher: Teacher Sex, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min, (USK 18)
Headmaster disciplines his naughty teacher! Sarah gets some of what she had been giving out! Sarah's heart sank as she listened to the headmaster's words. Her private little seduction of Stacie, the delicious young single mum, hadn't been so private after all - he knew all about it. She faced the choice of being sacked on the spot or submitting to corporal punishment at the hands of the PE teacher. On top of that, she was absolutely desperate to go to the loo! Extract: As she sat waiting, Sarah began to regret wearing the bright blue, stretchy jersey dress she had decided upon that morning. It was just a little short to meet the strict headmaster's high standards, but then she hadn't expected to be summoned to his office that day. As she sat waiting to be called in, on a chair that was several inches too low, she could feel the hem working its way up her thigh. She crossed her legs and that immediately made matters a lot worse. All that fidgeting around made her aware that her bladder was pretty full and she also regretted not remembering to have a wee. Considering whether she could quickly nip away, she glanced at the clock and saw it was already twelve minutes past. Knowing her luck, she would be called in as soon as she left and then there would be hell to pay. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlotte Edwards.

Yankee Bride - Rebel Bride, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 669min
For some reason at just that moment, Garnet glanced up at the house and thought she saw a shadowy figure standing at the window of the downstairs master bedroom in the wing Malcolm shared with Rose. With a little clutching sensations, Garnet wondered if Rose had seen her talking with Malcolm and if she minded that Garnet's had been the last farewell. Garnet shrugged and walked back into the garden. What difference did it make one way or the other? Malcolm belonged to Rose in a way he could never belong to her. All she had of Malcolm were memories of by-gone days. Suddenly she remembered Malcolm's parting words: 'Comfort Rose if you can, and be kind to her and little Jonathan.' Garnet gave her head a careless toss as if casting off such tiresome requests. Rose and Jonathan were not her responsibility! And she had no intention of taking them on, in spite of what Malcolm had asked. Besides, there were plenty of servants to care for Jonathan, and Rose seemed content enough with her endless Bible reading and piano playing and walks in the woods. It is not any concern of mine, Garnet assured herself. 'I have enough to do just taking care of myself!' Yankee Bride and Rebel Bride is set against the turbulent backdrop of the Civil War South, and chronicles the life of Garnet Cameron, whose plan to marry the man of her dreams, Malcolm Montrose, is thwarted when he chooses a Northern bride. On the rebound, Garnet married Malcolm's brother, thus entwining the lives of all four at Montclair, the magnificent ancestral Montrose family home. ungekürzt. Language: English.
