Summary

What does it take to be an effective leader in today's business world?
Mike Teke, the CEO of Seriti and well-known entrepreneur, has more experience than most as a leader. His opinion is heeded and followed by many.
In The Future of Leadership is Collegiality Mike shares some of his insights on leadership and the approaches that have made him successful. Indeed, it is a book that belongs on the desks of every existing and aspiring entrepreneur, CEO and manager.
Mike believes that 'young leaders emulate and mimic experienced leaders – whether the habits they are copying are right or not so right. This happens because young leaders search for ways and means to be recognised, advance in their careers, or be seen as impressive leaders.'
He discusses concepts such as collegiality, fraternisation, ingratiation and self-respect, and illustrates his ideas with examples of South African and world leaders. On his own journey towards becoming a powerful leader, it was inculcated in him that one had to be 'tough and ruthless' in their approach to leading. However, times have moved on and the game has changed!
To be effective and deliver consistently in business, Mike has realised that collegiality is the way of the future. 'There is no need to scream at others, bang tables or use foul language!' He believes that collegiality works everywhere – as long as one is willing to lead effectively.

    Essentials of Economic Theory

    John Bates Clark was an American economist who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is considered one of the founders of the neoclassical school of economics and is best known for his work on marginal productivity theory. 
One of Clark's most influential works is his book "The Essentials of Economic Theory" which was first published in 1907. The book provides an introduction to economic theory and covers a wide range of topics, including production, consumption, distribution, and exchange. 
Clark's approach to economic theory was highly mathematical and he believed that economic analysis should be based on the principles of marginalism. He argued that the value of a good or service is determined by the marginal utility it provides to consumers and the marginal cost of producing it. 
Clark also developed the theory of marginal productivity, which suggests that the value of a worker's contribution to the production process is equal to the marginal product of labor. This theory has been highly influential in the development of modern labor economics. 
Overall, "The Essentials of Economic Theory" is an important work that has had a significant impact on the development of economic thought. Clark's emphasis on the principles of marginalism and his development of the theory of marginal productivity have helped to shape the way that economists think about markets and the role of individuals in the production process.

    Adam Smith - A Very Short...

    Christopher J. Berry

    In 1776 Adam Smith (1723-90) wrote The Wealth of Nations, a book so foundational that it has led to him being called the "father of economics." Today he is associated with the promotion of self-interest, a defense of greed and a criticism of any governmental "interference" in market transactions which, if left to the "invisible hand," will produce prosperity and liberty. Yet if Smith is actually read these associations are more a caricature than a faithful portrait.In this Very Short Introduction, Christopher Berry offers a balanced and nuanced view of this seminal thinker, embedding his fierce defense of free trade, competition, and assault on special interests in contemporary European history, politics, and philosophy. As Berry explores, Smith was more than an economist. In addition to his two major works he also wrote a pioneering study of the history of astronomy as an illustration of the motivations that drive humans to seek answers to questions. He produced, again derived from his Glasgow classroom, an analysis of the development of grammar and language. As Christopher Berry shows, Adam Smith was no narrow thinker, but rather one who produced not only one of the greatest books in the history of social science, but also a wide-ranging body of work that remains significant today.

    How businesses and other organizations can improve their performance by tapping the power of differences in how people think.  
What if workforce diversity is more than simply the right thing to do in order to make society more integrated and just? What if diversity can also improve the bottom line of businesses and other organizations facing complex challenges in the knowledge economy? It can. And The Diversity Bonus shows how and why.  
Scott Page, a leading thinker, writer, and speaker whose ideas and advice are sought after by corporations, nonprofits, universities, and governments around the world, makes a clear and compellingly pragmatic case for diversity and inclusion. He presents overwhelming evidence that teams that include different kinds of thinkers outperform homogenous groups on complex tasks, producing what he calls "diversity bonuses". These bonuses include improved problem solving, increased innovation, and more accurate predictions - all of which lead to better performance and results.  
Page shows that various types of cognitive diversity - differences in how people perceive, encode, analyze, and organize the same information and experiences - are linked to better outcomes. He then describes how these cognitive differences are influenced by other kinds of diversity, including racial and gender differences - in other words, identity diversity. Identity diversity, therefore, can also produce bonuses.  
Drawing on research in economics, psychology, computer science, and many other fields, The Diversity Bonus also tells the stories of people and organizations that have tapped the power of diversity to solve complex problems. And the book includes a challenging response from Katherine Phillips of the Columbia Business School.  
The result changes the way we think about diversity in the workplace - and far beyond it.

She's purposeful and deliberate about everything, from her career, to her home, to her family, to what she eats for lunch. She is not second guessing herself but moving herself and those she loves boldly into the future.

The matriarch knows exactly what she wants the end game to be and she has the power to make it come to fruition. Simply put: she has her act together and you feel safer and more secure when you're in her presence. So, the question is, how does one become her? This audio book answers that question and more.
