About this listen

Success in business demands the effective management of people. James C. Morgan, who for nearly three decades led the high-tech powerhouse Applied Materials to both financial success and to the designation as one of America's most admired companies and best places to work, provides a simple, straightforward set of principles and tips that he says can help anyone be a better manager.

Applied Materials is one of Silicon Valley's great success stories and it helped propel the digital revolution. But Jim Morgan's management techniques are not reserved for high-tech: Applied Wisdom shows how the same approaches, tools, and values work at any scale, from start-ups to middle management in a global corporation - and even to non-profits. Rich in stories and practical examples, it's a must-listen for those seeking a timeless and proven management manual.

Audio brings the book to life

What did you like best about this story?

Several things: the business insights. The author's experience in the non-profit space and how that aligns with his experience in the for-profit sector. Inspiring story of a farm boy who reaches the top.

So far...not helpful

I'm on chaper 9 of the audio book, and it has been all about the authors life history and the history of the jobs he's had. So far, not very helpful.
