  This audiobook is narrated using AI-generated voice technology.   In the glittering, ruthless world of high finance, Hugh Bellingham serves as private secretary to powerful banker Marshall Hamilton—close enough to smell the money, but never close enough to own it. When pressure mounts and private ambitions collide with guarded secrets, Hugh is pulled deeper into a system that rewards loyalty, punishes weakness, and treats human lives as collateral.    The Money Gods is an early 20th-century novel about wealth as a kind of modern religion—complete with idols, rituals, temptations, and sacrifices. Moving through boardrooms, private offices, and the social machinery around big money, the story tracks what happens when a person tries to rise in a world where trust is transactional and power is always keeping score.

  The Network - The Battle for the...

  The astonishing story of America’s airwaves, the two friends—one a media mogul, the other a famous inventor—who made them available to us, and the government which figured out how to put a price on air. 
  This is the origin story of the airwaves—the foundational technology of the communications age—as told through the forty-year friendship of an entrepreneurial industrialist and a brilliant inventor. 
  David Sarnoff, the head of RCA and equal parts Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, and William Randolph Hearst, was the greatest supporter of his friend Edwin Armstrong, developer of the first amplifier, the modern radio transmitter, and FM radio. Sarnoff was convinced that Armstrong’s inventions had the power to change the way societies communicated with each other forever. He would become a visionary captain of the media industry, even predicting the advent of the Internet. 
  In the mid-1930s, however, when Armstrong suspected Sarnoff of orchestrating a cadre of government officials to seize control of the FM airwaves, he committed suicide. Sarnoff had a very different view of who his friend’s enemies were. 
  Many corrupt politicians and corporations saw in Armstrong’s inventions the opportunity to commodify our most ubiquitous natural resource—the air. This early alliance between high tech and business set the precedent for countless legal and industrial battles over broadband and licensing bandwidth, many of which continue to influence policy and debate today.

  "Everyone in a hospital leadership role should read this book as it offers a wealth of practical advice for organizations intent on improving their clinical care delivery." 
  -Amy C. Edmondson, professor, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization 
   
   
  Healthcare continues to be our fastest-growing sector-three times more than the rest of the economy. Yet it costs almost twice as much in the United States as it does in other countries, and its delivery systems are widely acknowledged to be fragmented, uneven in quality, and difficult to negotiate for the patients they aim to serve. Systemic changes are needed to create structures and processes that address these intrinsic flaws. 
  Practical and inspiring, this book draws on theories and practices that promote organizational change and outlines processes for establishing labor-management partnerships that utilize the knowledge and experience of administrators and staff at all levels. Through details of past and current practices of frontline participation, readers will discover proven methods for improving healthcare in the United States by listening to and implementing the ideas of frontline staff and patients.

  The rule-smashing guide for motivated working women who want to stop following someone else’s rules and take charge of their own success. 
   
   
   
   
   
  You leaned in like a palm tree in a hurricane. You cracked the confidence code. You’re determined not to be a nice girl, but a #GirlBoss. You’ve learned you can’t have it all, but you still try anyway. You know all of this. You’ve read the books, downloaded the apps, vision boarded and journaled your way to oblivion and back, to no avail. 
   
   
   
   
   
  Whether you’re stuck in middle management, stalled in mid-career, or mulling over a major career change, sometimes the proverbial glass ceiling feels very real indeed-a barrier keeping you from fulfilling your potential. Unlike other books, which focus on fixing you, Kick Some Glass empowers you to break through your glass ceiling and guides you toward understanding your context and uncovering what you really want, what your definition of success is, what your values are, and how to set the goals to reach your potential. 
   
   
   
   
   
  This is no one-size-fits-all career guide. It’s a top-to-bottom, inside-out, do-it-yourself makeover with the focus completely on you. In each chapter, you’ll be asked to evaluate specific parts of your work life, home life, personal strengths and weaknesses, past history and present obstacles, both internal and external, so you can: 
   
   
   
   
   
  * Live your intention and design a meaningful life at any stage 
   
  * Identify the underlying values that are the core of your being 
   
  * Get comfortable with your personal power and understand what it means 
   
  * Uncover the conscious and subconscious mental models that are holding you back 
   
  * Take calculated risks through planful action with a clear direction 
   
  * Let go of things you cannot control or change 
   
  * Become more resilient, adaptable, and self-aware 
   
  * Make the choices and tradeoffs necessary to fulfill your goals 
   
  * Decide if it’s time to reinvent your career-and prepare for your next move 
   
  * Find that elusive work-life balance that’s right for you 
   
  * Create your own definition of success-and make it happen for you 
   
   
   
   
   
  Best of all, you’ll be able to map out a career course for yourself that is based on your own definition of success, play and win by your own rules, and pay it forward by busting down doors for the next generation of women. 
   
   
   
   
   
  In the end, this book will help you uncover who you truly are and approach your professional life in ways that are authentic and most meaningful to you-and no one else. After all, only you hold the answers. It’s time to Kick Some Glass.

  Master of None - How a...

  In this revelatory memoir, the former CEO of Sonic challenges established thinking, offering counterintuitive career advice essential for every professional at all levels, whether you're just starting out or in the middle of your career. 
   
  In his bestselling Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell introduced readers to the 10,000-hour rule—the foundation of success in any endeavor. But as Clifford Hudson reveals, there are serious pitfalls to this rule. What happens to those who spend years trying to achieve something that doesn’t quite pan out? Do you really have to grind down the same path for many years, sacrificing priorities to become successful?  
  In this thought-provoking memoir, Hudson asks whether or not mastery is even necessary to succeed. Most people don't need to be experts in their field. Yes, the successful know more than the average person about a particular topic, and they often possess a better-than-average ability with a particular skillset; but not everyone who is successful is an expert, he makes clear. 
  More importantly, in today’s technology-driven environment, change is the only constant, including the nature of work and the skills required to do it. Over-investing in expertise is often riskier than learning to be adaptive and open to new knowledge, ideas, and skills. Experience can also lead to overconfidence. And yet we continue to deeply value the expertise ideal.  
  In Master of None, Hudson turns expertise on its head and shows that by embracing variety and becoming more versatile, anyone can succeed and become more open to different opportunities in life. To do so, he provides three basic rules that will see any professional through: Don't plan, exploreDon't specialize, generalizeDon't keep your head down, turn it up toward opportunity  
  Groundbreaking and thought provoking, Master of None is a new way forward to help businesses and professionals at all levels thrive.
