Change the WorkGame: Building and Sustaining a Diverse Workforce , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min
Research shows that diverse workgroups are more productive, creative and innovative than homogeneous groups. In a global marketplace, and with the rapidly changing racial makeup of America, having a high functioning, diverse workforce is imperative for your organization's success. Change the WorkGame has been designed to show you how establish a diverse workforce throughout all strata of your organization and how to sustain your progress. As a human resources executive, diversity and inclusion consultant, and a member of historically marginalized communities, I have experienced wildly unsuccessful diversity and inclusion strategies; and advised, coached, and led wildly successful diversity and inclusion initiatives. Business leaders and department heads have used the steps outlined in this how-to guide to successfully recruit and retain diverse talent. Chris, a small business owner, says, "the diversity recruitment steps listed in the book, matched with real life scenarios really helps bring to life not only how to go about recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce, but why it is important." I promise that if you follow the steps outlined in Change the WorkGame, you will increase the diversity of your workforce within six months following the activation of the last step and you will increase employee satisfaction by enhancing your managers and the inclusivity of your workplace. Don't wait to activate your diversity initiative. Don't wait to make your workforce stronger, nimbler, more creative, and more dynamic. Don't wait to establish an inclusive work environment where everyone feels respected, appreciated and heard. Be the person to take the lead towards change. If not you, then who? ungekürzt.

Killing Giants: 10 Strategies to Topple the Goliath in Your Industry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 456min
Everyone thought Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry were crazy to start Method, a new cleaning products company. The category had long been dominated by P&G, Unilever, and Colgate-Palmolive. Those giants had so much clout with the retail chains that their soaps had barely needed updating for decades. But by taking advantage of its underdog position, Method carved out a very profitable niche: environmentally sound products in stylish, innovative packaging. Despite having a far smaller marketing budget than their competitors, Method connected with a substantial minority of people who wanted to "buy green" but who also wanted high-quality products. Marketing expert Stephen Denny argues that, like Method, any brand can directly challenge the giant of its category and not only survive, but thrive. While it's inconvenient to be the little guy, it can also be a blessing in disguise. Giant-killers can afford to shake things up and take bold steps. They can be faster and nimbler than giants who are too slow and hidebound to make the painful but necessary changes to stay competitive. By the time they notice that slingshot, they're already keeling over. During his two decades in the trenches, Denny has taken on quite a few giants. And he has interviewed more than seventy other giant-killers across industries- from software to cosmetics to aviation-for their most powerful techniques. Our need to work smarter, with fewer resources, isn't dependent on the state of the economy or on any sense of stability you think you have in your industry. Denny's ten powerful strategies will help you overcome stale business thinking and bureaucracy. They include: Win in the last three feet. Leverage someone else's investment-just be there the moment the customer grabs their wallet. Create "thin ice" arguments. Shift the conversation to places where the competition can't-or won't-go. Fight unfairly. Learn how the underdog can turn the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Walter Dixon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/gdan/000533/bk_gdan_000533_sample.mp3.

In the Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1185min
Few companies in history have ever been as successful and as admired as Google, the company that has transformed the Internet and become an indispensable part of our lives. How has Google done it? Veteran technology reporter Steven Levy was granted unprecedented access to the company, and in this revelatory book he takes listeners inside Google headquarters - the Googleplex - to explain how Google works. While they were still students at Stanford, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin revolutionized Internet search. They followed this brilliant innovation with another, as two of Google's earliest employees found a way to do what no one else had: make billions of dollars from Internet advertising. With this cash cow (until Google's IPO, nobody other than Google management had any idea how lucrative the company's ad business was), Google was able to expand dramatically and take on other transformative projects: more efficient data centers, open-source cell phones, free Internet video (YouTube), cloud computing, digitizing books, and much more. The key to Google's success in all these businesses, Levy reveals, is its engineering mind-set and adoption of such Internet values as speed, openness, experimentation, and risk taking. After it's unapologetically elitist approach to hiring, Google pampers its engineers with free food and dry cleaning, on-site doctors and masseuses, and gives them all the resources they need to succeed. Even today, with a workforce of more than 23,000, Larry Page signs off on every hire. But has Google lost its innovative edge? It stumbled badly in China. And now, with its newest initiative, social networking, Google is chasing a successful competitor for the first time. Some employees are leaving the company for smaller, nimbler start-ups. Can the company that famously decided not to be "evil" still compete? No other book has turned Google inside out as Levy does with In the Plex. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: L. J. Ganser.
