  What is the mindset or way of thinking that great sales leaders apply to build real followership and consistent, positive, and sustainable team results? What is different about the leaders who are able to lead their teams to generate consistently great results from those leaders who cannot? 
  In this audiobook, Matt McDarby offers a clear view of great sales leadership by looking through the lens of the people being led. What are the qualities of the sales leaders you would be inclined to follow? What actions do they take that makes them attractive leaders? What are the key behaviors that separate them from their average counterparts? 
  Using real-world stories about virtuous and highly effective sales leaders, McDarby demonstrates how you can increase your impact as a leader by avoiding the seven deadly sins and intentionally incorporating the great virtues -- humility, goodwill, patience, diligence, generosity, self-control, and detachment -- into your daily work.

  The Criminal Record Complex -...

  Most employers in the United States routinely conduct criminal background checks on job applicants, weeding out those with criminal convictions. In this powerful analysis, Melissa Burch sheds light on one of the most significant forces of social and economic marginalization of our time—discrimination on the basis of criminal records. Chronicling the daily interactions of hiring managers, workforce development professionals, and job-seekers with felony convictions in Southern California, Burch shows that this discrimination is not simply a matter of employer bias. Hiring is shaped by a set of institutions, organizations, and industries that promote the erroneous idea that people with criminal records are dangerous to employ. Burch places today's routine practice of background screening within racialized notions of risk originating in early capitalist development, tracing how, over decades, criminal background checks became a convenient catch-all, leveraged by entities with a direct interest in growing the practice. Despite this reach, however, Burch discovers that small business owners tend to put less value on background checks, trusting their own judgment. Approaching the issue from both personal and policy perspectives, The Criminal Record Complex upends what we thought we knew about the causes of criminal record discrimination.
