Spike & Co., Hörbuch, Digital, 137min
This is the story of how four people, grouped together inside a set of offices five floors above a greengrocer's shop on Shepherd's Bush Green in West London, scaled the heights of British comedy. On any weekday morning, if you dared to clamber over the crates of fruit and veg that the greengrocer had allowed to pile up outside on the pavement, climbed the five flights up the dangerously rickety staircase, and crept inside the entrance to Associated London Scripts, you would have found Milligan, Sykes, Galton, and Simpson shaping the latest shows, swapping the odd story, and searching for a funnier line. Spike Milligan would have been in one office, often slumped over his typewriter, tapping away at the next script for The Goons. Eric Sykes would be seated at his desk in the next office, perhaps writing out in longhand another routine for Frankie Howerd or the cast of Educating Archie. And Galton and Simpson would have been in their own office, plotting, perchance, the next half hour for Tony Hancock. Together, this eclectic bunch, and their bizarre office block, were responsible for a golden age in British comedy, which included The Goons, Hancock's Half Hour, Sykes, Steptoe and Son, Comedy Playhouse, The Frankie Howerd Show, Beyond Our Ken, Round the Horn, The Arthur Haynes Show, The Army Game, Bootsie and Snudge, That Was The Week That Was, and Till Death Us Do Part, to name but a few.

The Art and Science of Leading: An Informative and Inspirational Leadership Guide Based on Personal Experiences , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 128min
Leaders are born, not made.For the longest time, this was the widely held perspective about leadership. The majority of people believed in this idea put forward by the Trait Theory of Leadership, which is an extension of the Great Man Theory given by Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle in the 1840s. Many theorists and philosophers also got influenced by Carlyle’s idea and even expanded it.One such philosopher was Francis Galton, who had several titles under his belt but was best known for his work in the fields of eugenics and human intelligence. In his book Hereditary Genius, written in 1869, Galton borrowed Carlyle’s idea of leadership and claimed that leadership qualities are immutable properties of extraordinary individuals. He also further emphasized the notion that leadership qualities are not something that you could develop.This line of thinking prevailed for about a century. It was only in the late 1940s that some theorists and philosophers started coming up with different perspectives about leadership. They were classified as behavioral theories of leadership and focused on identifying and studying specific behaviors of leaders and their response to particular stimuli. By building on this core idea, behavioral theories suggest that anyone can become a leader by learning appropriate behavioral responses to various situations.I believe that the art and science of leadership, one could learn. The set of personality traits, qualities, and skills that make great leaders are often acquired and developed, of course, with hard work. Like any other goal, you need to set priorities, determine your path, and consistently work to become a leader in your field.This book is about the things I learned during my journey in the business world. It’s about the essential characteristics, qualities, and skills that one needs to have to progress and eventually become a leader in any field and how you can develop them. You will a ungekürzt.
