About this listen
A new edition of the number one book in the human computer interaction field!
This book seeks to chart the technology-fueled changes taking place in the field of corporate governance and describes the impact these changes are having on boards and the enterprises they govern. It also describes what the future could look like once companies truly embrace the power of technology to change governance.
Additionally, this book will provide a set of "suggested action steps" for companies and their boards focused on ways they can leverage technology tools to enhance governance immediately. Through a review of the latest governance research, interviews with key thought leaders, and case studies of enterprises that have embraced governance technology, listeners will be armed with new insights and approaches they can take to enhance the work of their boards and senior leaders to reach new levels of performance.

What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products.

Being a CEO at any of the world’s largest companies is among the most challenging roles in business. Billions, and even trillions, are at stake—and the fates of tens of thousands of employees often hang in the balance. Yet, even when “can’t miss” high-achievers win the top job, very few excel. For those who shoulder the burden of being the one on whom everyone counts, a manual for excellence is sorely needed. To identify the 21st century’s best CEOs, the authors of CEO Excellence started with a pool of over 2,400 public company CEOs.

Are you a high potential? Your managers and HR department are constantly wondering that about you - and assessing whether or not you have what it takes to advance. Here's how to get them to answer yes. Being seen as a high potential leader is essential to getting promoted and reaching an organization's upper echelons, but most companies keep their top talent list a closely guarded secret. And the assessment process they use to decide who is and isn't a future leader is an even greater mystery.

Today, organizations are grappling with ambiguity, volatility, and paradox surrounding the challenges they face. This is complexity. But too many leaders approach complexity the wrong way - they push their people harder and harder and tackle problems one at a time over months, sometimes even years and nearly always in a linear fashion. It’s like setting a pot of water on “low” and waiting for it to boil. In this book, the authors share their proven formula for dramatically shortening the process and solving an organization’s toughest challenges in mere days.

In the past few years, a number of well-known firms have failed; think of Blockbuster, Kodak, or RadioShack.

But closer examination reveals a disturbing truth: Companies large and small are shuttering more quickly than ever. What does it take to buck this trend? The simple answer is: ambidexterity. Firms must remain competitive in their core markets, while also winning in new domains.

A book of platitudes
The book started off OK, but turned into a book of platitudes, e.g. directors should be diligent, should be respectful, should keep the best interest of the company and its shareholders always in mind. I'm making up the exact platitudes here, but they are directional correct. There was also a great deal of repetition; literally the same thing said three or four times at different places in the book. And despite claiming to have experience from hundreds if not thousands of companies and many interviews with directors, it seemed that less than a handful of directors were quoted. The same directors were quoted again and again. And the sophistication of the advice was betrayed by quoting from directors who sit on eight or nine boards. There is no way that a director can do an adequate job, let alone the tasks set by the book for directors, if they sit on eight or nine boards. That is one of the things that is wrong with current practices. I also found that the authors confused the role of director and CEO, suggesting the directors travel around to sit with employees, attend operational meetings and get involved in other areas that are the provence of the CEO. Finally, I found the division of all Boards into four types, i.e., foundational boards, structural boards, activist boards and future boards to be rather arbitrary and not particulary insightful or helpful.
