The Road Less Stupid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 692min
Smart people do dumb things. Here's the proof: How much money would you have right now if I gave you the ability to unwind any three financial decisions you have ever made? Years ago, after suffering a humiliatingly large dumb tax, it dawned on me that I have a seemingly unlimited ability to hit unforced errors and sabotage my business and financial success. I suspect you do, too. It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. I don't need to do more smart things. I just need to make fewer dumb mistakes. The vast majority of our dumb tax is a direct result of emotional, overly optimistic, and poorly thought out decisions. Every one of those three decisions you would love to unwind was an avoidable mistake. Thinking is critical to sustainable success in business; said another way, business is an intellectual sport. The principles and structure suggested in The Road Less Stupid will enable anyone, regardless of the size of the business, the currency, or the industry, to run their business more effectively, make more money, and dramatically increase the likelihood of keeping that money. It all hinges on Thinking Time. This is a business book for business listeners who want to learn the principles and strategies of making great decisions and minimizing risk. The structure of Thinking Time will enable you to minimize reacting emotionally and defaulting to the most obvious "best idea" available in the moment. The series of short chapters and subsequent Thinking Time questions are designed to maximize clarity and create better choices...either of which will result in fewer stupid mistakes. This is the real "secret": The chance of success goes up when you think, plan, consistently execute the right things, and worry about the possibility of loss. Here it is on a bumper sticker: Operators react and sweat. Owners think and plan. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Keith J. Cunningham.

Flying Blind
'A startling investigation of the corporate blunders behind the tragedies that claimed the lives of 346 passengers.' - The Times 'A compelling, deeply reported account written in crisp, controlled anger...an indictment not just of on of America's most celebrated companies, but of an entire era.' - Financial Times 'An authoritative, gripping and finely detailed narrative that charts the decline of one of the great American companies.' - New York Times Book Review -------- Discover the corporate scandal that transfixed the world, cost hundreds of innocent lives, and almost destroyed a global institution. Boeing is a century-old titan of industry, having played a role in the early days of commercial flight, Second World War bombing missions and even moon landings. Yet in 2018 and 2019, two crashes of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 killed 346 people. The crashes exposed a shocking pattern of malfeasance, leading to the biggest crisis in the company's history - and one of the costliest corporate scandals ever. How did things go so horribly wrong? Flying Blind is the definitive account of the disasters that shocked the world; a chilling, behind-the-scenes look at the corporate dysfunction which contributed to one of the worst tragedies in modern aviation. It's an exposé of a reckless culture where - in a race to beat the competition and reward top executives - Boeing skimped on testing, pressured employees to meet unrealistic deadlines and ultimately convinced regulators to put planes into the air without properly equipping them or their pilots for flight. From award-winning Bloomberg investigative journalist Peter Robison, this is the story of a business gone wildly off course. At once endlessly fascinating and deeply disturbing, it shows how the iconic company fell prey to a win-at-all-costs mentality, threatening an industry and sacrificing countless lives. -------- 'An urgent, compelling and richly reported story of how the almighty profit motive supplanted a culture of engineering excellence, and the avoidable calamity that has impacted all of us as a result.' - Brad Stone, author of Amazon Unbound and The Everything Store 'A story everyone - every consumer, every citizen, every worker in every industry - needs to read.' - Diana B. Henriques, NYT bestselling author of The Death of Trust and The Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff 'The astoundingly well reported and beautifully told story of the downfall of what was once a great American company. A must-read.' - Bethany McClean, author of All The Devils Are Here and The Smartest Guys In The Room- Shop: buecher
