An incredibly narrated book

Revisado: 03-19-21

The story was sweet but, boy, this narration! It was simply out of this world; I totally loved it ❤️ Can't even imagine reading this book on paper...

The basic leadership book to start with

Revisado: 02-20-21

If you want to learn more about Leadership, this is the book to start with. It puts everything else into perspective and saves so much time of reading other books with "invaluable leadership advice".

That said, I found the narrator's intonation rather strange. He read every comma like a full stop. My advice is to go with the printed copy.

Great book & annoyingly mispronounced names

Revisado: 02-10-21

This book got me thinking in a completely new way. It was extremely insightful and painfully true. I am now in love with System Thinking and intend to continue studying it - this book was only the beginning.

To the narrator: Please, research in advance how to correctly pronounce the names of world-known leaders like Lech Wałęsa, Nicolae Ceaușescu, Genghis Khan, to name just a few.

It's a huge struggle to listen to this book

Revisado: 01-31-21

The story is nice, but my recommendation would be for the printed book. The narration of this audio book is impossible. I would have never thought that the author could read his own thoughts with so much disinterest and lack of or unfitting intonation. And the additional narrators pitching in from time to time are even worse.

Enter a headline for your review (OPTIONAL!!)

This books is full of very nice stories. You can ignore the laws (not everybody is interested in power games) and focus on the stories only.

A small note: In the name "Genghis Khan", Khan is actually the title, not the surname (even though it comes after the name, not before).

The narrator is doing an amazing job! I cannot imagine anyone else narrating this book - excellent choice!

So interesting and insightful; I loved it!

Revisado: 01-13-21

I am so glad I did not get discouraged by some of the reviews claiming that the book is a huge Netflix advertisement and nothing more. In my opinion, this statement cannot be further from the truth. The book provides great insight in an extremely captivating way; it is full of stories and lessons learned. I also think Reed Hastings pairing up with Erin Meyer to write the book was an excellent move: she had provided the research on why what Netflix does makes sense, and that gives the book even more merit. Highly recommended for people who would like to learn how to turn their process company around and make it an Agile innovation hub.

About the book:
Learn the correct pronunciation of Adidas!

About the review:
1. The Heading is marked as optional and, yet, I cannot post my review without one?!?
2. Why does my review have to be a minimum of 15 words? "Learn the correct pronunciation of Adidas!" contains very meaningful and to-the-point 6 words: what more do you need?

Lovely book, whose author diminishes its value

Revisado: 07-26-20

The narrators performing the 2 spiritual leaders are doing an excellent job. However, the author, even though he's reading his own thoughts, is putting in zero emotion. It's like he's reading the phone book - he doesn't even smile when telling his own jokes. IMO it will be better if Audible re-records his part only with someone more animated.

Jeez, what was that?!

Revisado: 06-24-20

I just love Thandie Newton, but I am not sure I understood why Robin Morgan-Bentley has to constantly cut her off and speak over her speaking. It was getting a bit ridiculous towards the end: asking her a question, but then not letting her answer. So much for "oh, it's soooooo important that women have a voice" - duh!!!
