    Performance.  It’s a word that many of us take for granted.  Although the word may seem simple, when we add the words negative, positive, low, or high, it becomes something that can have a major impact on our future.  Why then does our own performance take a back seat to the daily grind of career and life?  Why is it that all of us do not perform at our highest potential possible?  The answer is basic in delivery but complex in execution—we simply do not know how or where to start.  Welcome to the 9th Stratum: Your guide to high performance. The 9th Stratum concept was developed over two decades through the study, testing, and application of techniques and practices observed in low to high performers and validated with real world results.  This revealed the specific performance-based skills, behaviors, routines, and habits that are practiced daily by high-performers from all industries.  Understanding and applying these skills is critical for those who have yet to establish consistent goal achievement—and the success that follows.In The 9th Stratum, Aaron Salko provides the backed-by-science knowledge of how high performers operate, as well as tactical applications that you can begin to use immediately in both your career and life.  What is written on these pages within will not only make you better, it will also change the way you think and act.  The choice is yours: embrace the knowledge and transcend your limitations, or simply skim the surface and remain on your current path.  But know this—whether you fully commit or merely scan the pages, this audiobook will leave a lasting mark on your journey, forever elevating your performance to higher stratums.Are you ready to unlock your true potential?Ask yourself: "Who do I aspire to be?"If you can visualize your aspiration, then this book is for you.BONUS MATERIAL:  This audiobook features a Q&A with author Aaron Salko and his business partner, Kelly Johnson.

    In 2004, Kentaro Toyama, an award-winning computer scientist, moved to India to start a new research group for Microsoft. Its mission: to explore novel technological solutions to the world's persistent social problems. But after a decade of designing technologies for humanitarian causes, Toyama concluded that no technology, however dazzling, could cause social change on its own.Technologists and policy-makers love to boast about modern innovation, and in their excitement, they exuberantly tout technology's boon to society. But what have our gadgets actually accomplished? Over the last four decades, America saw an explosion of new technologies, but in that same period, the rate of poverty stagnated at a stubborn 13 percent, only to rise in the recent recession. So, a golden age of innovation in the world's most advanced country did nothing for our most prominent social ill.Toyama's warning resounds: Don't believe the hype! Technology is never the main driver of social progress. Geek Heresy inoculates us against the glib rhetoric of tech utopians by revealing that technology is only an amplifier of human conditions. By telling the moving stories of extraordinary people, Toyama shows that even in a world steeped in technology, social challenges are best met with deeply social solutions.

    Being the Boss - Get the Work Done

    Being the Boss starts and ends with doing the work. The role models should be Jack Welch, ex-CEO of GE; Steve Jobs at Apple; and Jeff Bezos at Amazon. They get out in front of the work and lead the charge. Only then do they assess their talent to see who to enlist to help them. This audiobook emphasizes that, even if you get the boss job because you get along with people, have leadership skills, or network well, the key is doing the work - getting the job done. And checking with your boss to be sure you are doing exactly what he or she wants. Once a day is not too often."Boss, am I focused on what you want me to be?" Few say it; hard to get very off course if you keep calibrating, says the author. The author suggests exactly what you should do on each day in week one and in your second week of bossing. Don't sit back and assess, he advises, as so many people do. Get after it, get things done, and enlist those you need to support your efforts, both people reporting to you and those that don't, inside and outside your organization.Lou Gerstner, when he became IBM's CEO, famously started by talking to customers: "What do you want? What can we do better?" He scheduled 40% of his time with customers. And lhe eft a can do, get it done, sales VP in charge as CEO when he left.The work always starts with the customer, the author points out. Start there. And he provides interesting tips about how to deal with the people reporting to you: keep the ones that can help; return the ones that can't to HR, but keep them in your budget until HR can place them elsewhere or eliminate them. Don't harm people; just move them out. And quickly. You should get this done by Friday of your first week when still in your honeymoon period with your boss. The author says he has never met an effective CEO or boss who said he or she acted too quickly in removing people. But, and this is a big but, don't harm them. Move them to HR; keep them on the budget; support their transition; just not in your shop.A great listening experience, and with humor too - not easy in a talk about bossing.
