  Transform! explores the stark reality that only a small fraction of companies achieve their technology-led transformation objectives, with billions of dollars wasted each year. The book highlights the critical barriers to success, such as defining the right investment priorities and addressing workforce skills and attitudes. It also sheds light on the broader implications of this wastage, including the opportunity costs and the potential to fund global solutions like eradicating hunger. 
  Through compelling case studies and data-driven insights, Transform! delivers key insights on: 
  •	Pitfalls of technology-led change programmes, from faulty air traffic control systems causing massive disruptions to tragic incidents like the UK’s Post Office Horizon accounting system debacle 
  •	14 core behaviours which have been proven over more than two decades of application to reduce the chances of failure and to significantly increase the likelihood of creating more successful outcomes 
  •	Steps to setting up and running technology programmes of any size, which are ultimately very human-intensive and creative 
  Transform! is an essential listen for all business leaders and professionals looking for a reliable and practical guide to navigate the complexities of digital transformation.

  The Zen of Stress Relief -...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  In the bustling heart of Vienna, where the aroma of coffee mingles with the hurried footsteps of commuters rushing to their next appointment, I first encountered the profound stillness that would forever change my understanding of stress and its antidote. It was during a particularly overwhelming period of my life, when the demands of modern existence seemed to press upon me from all directions like an unrelenting tide, that I stumbled upon a small meditation center tucked away in the city's historic district. 
  The irony was not lost on me that in seeking refuge from the chaos of Western life, I would find myself drawn to practices that had been cultivated for millennia in the mountains of Tibet, the gardens of Japan, and the ancient temples of China. This began my journey into what I have come to understand as the essential marriage between Eastern wisdom and Western practicality, a union that offers profound relief from the unique stresses of our contemporary world. 
  The modern Western mind, conditioned by centuries of Cartesian dualism and scientific rationalism, approaches problems with a fundamentally different perspective than its Eastern counterpart. Where Western thought seeks to analyze, categorize, and solve, Eastern philosophy invites us to observe, accept, and transcend. This fundamental difference is not a weakness to be overcome but rather a strength to be harnessed, for it is precisely this analytical nature that allows us to understand and integrate ancient practices in ways that are both meaningful and sustainable within our cultural context.

  The Serving Leader 2nd Edition -...

  This long awaited 2nd edition of a classic title expands and deepens the story of Mike Wilson, an unlikely servant leader. 
   
   
  At a time of increasing concern about ethics at the top, The Serving Leader makes the case for an approach to leadership that is both more moral and more effective than the ruthless, anything-for-the-bottom-line approach that has brought disgrace-and often ruin- to many once-mighty organizations. "Serving leaders" lead by serving others, not by using them. As one of the characters in the book notes, "A leader qualifies to be first by putting other people first." It sounds paradoxical, but it works-and The Serving Leader shows precisely how and why. 
   
  While Ken Jennings and John Stahl-Wert use a parable to outline the basics of servant leadership, all the people in it are based on real people, the organizations depicted are based on real organizations-and the results they achieved are what really happened. On one level The Serving Leader is the most practical guide available to implementing servant leadership; on a deeper level, it is a book about the personal journey of growth that real leadership requires. 
   
  This 2nd edition features a new foreword by Ken Blanchard, a new introduction by the authors, and a new chapter checking back in with Mike, the main character, to see what he has learned 12 years after he embraced servant leadership.
