For the skeptical flyer!

Revisado: 06-05-18

I fly enough to appreciate that air travel is not always predictable or convenient. I also work for a large tier 1 supplier in the industry and know first hand that there is no industry that takes safety more seriously.
This book gives the listener an insiders view of airplane and airline operations in a very accessible style. The performance is quite engaging and clearly spoken.
For a skeptical non-flyer, I would highly recommend this audio book the for the next 8 hour drive...that you could have flown.

Too much fake accent

Revisado: 07-19-17

Another well written story by Val McDermid that continues the Tony Hill/Carol Jordan Series. The characters continue to develop and the multi-layered plot is handled pretty well. I find the conclusion of these stories to be a bit abrupt, but the story is more about the hunt than the kill.
The performance is way to focused on fake German accents and it really distracted from the content. I'm sure the print version does not have the extra V's and R's that the narrator over emphasized.

All corporate execs should get this message

Revisado: 10-24-15

This concise presentation of the human nature of what incentivized people to perform their best in the workplace, or any task for that matter, encourages managers and business leaders to look beyond financial incentives to improve their business performance. Great connections are made between the actions of real employees, working for real companies, and the theories presented.
Particularly at large industrial companies, we need to consider that the company does more than just make profits for its investors. Ultimate efficiency, where employee engagement is reduced to doing exactly and precisely the instructed task leads to disengaged employees who have no vested interest in improvement of their condition which in turn leads to reduced innovation and higher worker turnover. Mr. Schwartz's suggestions to develop committed employees would benefit all businesses.

I rated the performance 3 stars because the audio levels varied considerably and made it distracting to have to adjust the volume frequently to accommodate.
