About this listen
Imagine what you could do with the time you spend writing emails every day.
Complexity is killing companies' ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our time. Why Simple Wins helps leaders and their teams move beyond the feelings of frustration and futility that come with so much unproductive work in today's corporate world to create a corporate culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm. By learning how to eliminate redundancies, communicate with clarity, and make simplification a habit, individuals and companies can begin to recognize which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value.
Lisa Bodell's simplification method has several unique principles:
- Simplification is a skill that's available to us all, yet very few leaders use it.
- Simplification is the right thing to do - for our customers, for our company, and for each other. Operating with simplification as our core business model will make it easier to be respectful of each other's time.
- Simplification drives culture, and culture in turn drives employee engagement, customer relations, and overall productivity.
This book is inspired by Bodell's passion for eliminating barriers to innovation and productivity. In it, she explains why change and innovation are so hard to achieve - and it's not what you might expect. The reality is this: we spend our days drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, emails, and reports. These are often self-created complexities that prevent us from getting to the meaningful work that truly matters.
Using simple stories and techniques, Why Simple Wins shows that by using simplicity as an operating principle, we can eliminate the busy work that puts a chokehold on us every day, and instead spend time on the work that we value.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Story
Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

The Fearless Organization offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent, but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule, or intimidate.

We're in the middle of an epidemic of stress and anxiety. Average life expectancy in the US is down. At work, less than sixteen percent of us are fully engaged. In many high-stress jobs such as distribution centers, emergency room nursing, and teaching, incidences of PTSD are higher than veterans returning from war zones. We are getting something terribly wrong. Our workplaces fail utterly to provide for or capitalize on one of our most basic human needs: our need for love.

Most of us know someone who, for whatever reason, always seems to cause problems, irritate others, or incite conflict. Often, these people are a part of our daily lives. The truth is that these trouble makers haven't necessarily asked to be this way. Sometimes we need to learn new approaches to deal with people who are harder to get along with or love.

Story
At work, we’re taught to lead the conversation. On social media, we shape our personal narratives. At parties, we talk over one another. So do our politicians. We’re not listening. And no one is listening to us. Despite living in a world where technology allows constant digital communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really listening or even knows how. And it’s making us lonelier, more isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. A listener by trade, New York Times contributor Kate Murphy wanted to know how we got here.

Story
After three years of living his dream as a professional baseball pitcher, Mike Robbins had an arm injury that benched him for good, and when this happened, he had to figure out who he was without the identity of "baseball player" - a process fraught with emotional highs and lows. He quickly realized that the self-criticism and self-doubt he was feeling are epidemic in our culture. Too often we base our value on our external world - our jobs, finances, appearance, or various other factors.

Steven A. Cohen changed Wall Street. He and his fellow pioneers of the hedge fund industry didn’t lay railroads, build factories, or invent new technologies. Rather, they made their billions through financial speculation, by placing bets in the market that turned out to be right more often than not.

Missing the writer
This might sound a bit cranky but I do miss the fact that it's not the writer reading and speaking. The voice is not bad but it doesn't feel as powerful or true when it's not read by the writer. Especially this type of books.

Repetitive and boring. Could have been half the number of pages.
The point is made in the first 10 mins. Feels overwritten. Could have been more concise.

good story useful tools
albeit without concise direction on how to use unless you go back and listen to the book with the PDF in hand. tweaked my interest into her other tool offerings but unfortunately the process to obtain is less than simple so sadly future think doesn't eat its own dog food.

Stunningly complex solutions to complexity
Lisa Bodell prescribes a spectacularly complex set of procedures in the name of helping your business simplify. The complication and specificity are truly stunning—down to telling readers exactly how many minutes to spend thinking about certain questions or performing certain steps in the labyrinth of procedures she gives. A much more helpful and impactful approach would be to state each principle and then show just enough diverse examples so that readers can go off and generalize the principle to all aspects of their lives. This approach is used extremely effectively by Stephen Covey and Simon Sinek.
In addition, the reader’s performance is the worst I have heard on Audible, save for Christopher Hitchens’ mumbling in his own books. The reader’s constant, exaggerated changes in intonation are at best bizarre, at worst extremely distracting to the listener.
Overall, a huge letdown of a book, especially one written about such an important topic in today’s world.
