  A fresh, research-driven playbook for how successful leaders can maximize the potential of othersWhen we think of leaders, we often imagine lone, inspirational figures lauded for their behaviors, attributes, and personal decisions, and leadership books often reinforce that view. However, this approach ignores a leader's mission to empower others. Applying decades of behavioral science research, Don A. Moore and Max H. Bazerman offer a passionate corrective to this view, casting today's organizations as decision factories in which effective leaders are decision architects, enabling those around them to make wise, ethical choices consistent with their own interests and the organization's highest values. As a result, a leader's impact grows because it ripples out instead of relying on one individual to play the part of heroic figure. Filled with real-life stories and examples of the structures, incentives, and systems that successful leaders have used, this playbook equips each of us to facilitate wise decisions.

  The decisions we make every day—frequently automatic and incredibly fast—impact every area of our lives. The Little Black Book of Decision Making delves into the cognition behind decision making, guiding you through the different ways your mind approaches various scenarios. You'll learn to notice that decision making is a matter of balance between your rational side and your intuition—the trick is in honing your intuition to steer you down the right path.Pure reasoning cannot provide all of the answers, and relying solely on intuition could prove catastrophic in business. There must be a balance between the two, and the proportions may change with each situation. This book helps you quickly pinpoint the right mix of logic and "gut feeling," and use it to find the best possible solution. You'll learn how to: balance logic and intuition in your decision making approach; avoid traps set by the mind's inherent bias; understand the cognitive process of decision making; and sharpen your professional judgement in any situation.Decision making is the primary difference between organizations that lead and those that struggle. The Little Black Book of Decision Making helps you uncover errors in thinking before they become errors in judgment.

  140 Simple Messages To Guide...

  Leadership is one of the world's oldest professions. There are countless resources for one to learn about leadership and do in-depth study. In this audiobook, my goal is not to provide a scholarly tome, but rather to provide emerging leaders simple messages for guidance and success. I do this through 140 simple messages that have helped me navigate life.Why am I providing 140 messages, some have asked? Why not use traditional numbers, like five, ten, or 100? The answer is very simple. We are living at a time when Twitter and its 140-character limitation (now 280) is being used by leaders in all areas of life and at all levels of organizations. Some leaders are exemplary in their use of Twitter, and others less than exemplary. My goal is to leverage the zeitgeist we are living in to show how by using the limited characters allowed by Twitter, leaders can communicate strong messages that make a positive impact on people's lives. For that reason, this actionable leadership journal contains 140 Twitter-length messages written as a guide for emerging leaders on living, learning, and developing themselves and others on their journey to success.Additionally, I have become convinced of the power of well-crafted short messages for another reason. I was a Forbes contributor for a year. As a member of the Forbes Coaches Council during that year, I contributed to thirty question-and-answer columns. The answers to the Q&As I submitted to Forbes were required to be 400 characters or fewer. This is slightly longer than Twitter's new 280-character limit. Some of the columns I appeared in were read by as few as 2,000 people. My most popular column, however, was read by more than 30,000 people. This clearly shows that people found value in our succinct messages and shared them with others. Hence, I believe there is value in the messages contained in this audiobook designed to be an actionable leadership journal.140 Simple Messages to Guide Emerging Leaders is part of the THiNKaha series, whose slim and handy books contain 140 well-thought-out AHA messages.

  Chief Operating Officer. Chief of Staff. General Manager. Second in Command. The job title can vary. But there is something that unifies these roles when you see them performed well. It’s a particular kind of person with a particular kind of wiring, and a particular kind of person whose strengths are amplified when working in a leadership duo.  
  Who is this person, you might ask? They’re called Seconds. And this book is dedicated to them.  
  In How to be Second, Nathan Young and David Hartman explore all sorts of questions about Seconds: Who is a Second? How do you know if you’re a Second? What are some strengths and challenges of Seconds? Why does my organization need a Second (or multiple Seconds)? How do I best work with or for a Second? How do I hire a great Second?  
  Seconds, at their core, are valuable leaders. But their leadership shows up best and is activated by working for another leader.  
  If you are a Second, a person who might need a Second, or if you're neither... leadership won't look the same to you after reading this book.
