    Lanham Napier grew Rackspace from nearly nothing to over $1 billion in revenues and $5 billion in market value while creating thousands of jobs. Under his leadership, especially growing Rackspace's high-quality customer service, Fanatical Support, the tech start-up gained thousands of customers and industry dominance. A lifelong Texan, Lanham grew the company in his home state, overseeing the development of phenomenal new headquarters (a converted mall) in San Antonio and leading the company's IPO. Further, he obsessed over how to increase employee engagement, and he exuberantly succeeded in his goal. 
    But, when Microsoft, Amazon, and Google entered the industry in force, everything changed . . . including Lanham's relationship with Rackspace executives and the company's board of directors. Lanham believed he had three options for leading the Rackspace response to the intense competition. But in fact, the board showed him that there was a fourth option (a very challenging option at that), which he had never even considered. 
    Readers love the authenticity of this book and made it a bestseller for coaching and mentoring and for business management.

    While most people work ever-longer hours, international statistics suggest that the average time spent on non-work activities per employee is around two hours a day. How is this possible, and what are the reasons behind employees withdrawing from work?In this thought-provoking audiobook, Roland Paulsen examines organizational misbehavior, specifically the phenomenon of "empty labor," defined as the time during which employees engage in private activities during the working day. This study explores a variety of explanations, from under-employment to workplace resistance. Building on a rich selection of interview material and extensive empirical research, it uses both qualitative and quantitative data to present a concrete analysis of the different ways empty labor unfolds in the modern workplace. This audiobook offers new perspectives on subjectivity, rationality, and work simulation and will be of particular interest to academic researchers and graduate students in organizational sociology, organization studies, and human resource management.

    Ready to save money? Ready to get all those special discounts?!  
    Thousands of companies, including the big ones, hand out coupons for all kinds of items. And a lot of people miss out by neglecting them. A few fanatics get thousands of dollars worth of groceries for only a few hundred bucks, and others just find the occasional deal they like. How far are you willing to go? Would you really spend some extra time researching the matter to live life to the fullest without spending all kinds of money?  
    The couponing strategies in this audiobook are real. The idea is not too good to be true. Couponing can help you get so much out of life that you barely have to make a living. But you have to know what you’re doing, or you’ll go about it all wrong.

Others just try to suck you into their store to have you buy more (since you’re there anyway). A clever tactic when becoming a super couponing shopper helps. That’s why this audiobook was put together. You will learn about:Which coupons are often good deals.How to beat the marketing strategies unleashed upon you and get the most bang for your buck every single time.How to organize coupons and not go insane with a stack of cut out pieces of paper.Online coupons and the benefit of having Internet on your phone to find a deal while you are shopping.Routines, examples, and super tricks to combine coupons, save time, and walk out of the store with a load of groceries for almost nothing.And much more! 
    You cannot stay in the dark and be unaware of all the deals around you. You simply have to take initiative to become financially free without being a doctor or lawyer. Taking the time to use coupons effectively pays off. Begin now by listening to this audiobook!
