A U.S. entrepreneur and former member of a Swiss special forces unit offers an exceptional guide for seasoned executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders in any organization. Sam Goodner narrates in a professional-sounding tone. His deliberate pacing and audible connection with his ideas work well to engage listeners. Goodner's performance, along with his impressive backstory of repeated professional success, gives extra power to his management principles--useful ideas that are often overlooked in rapidly growing companies. Colorful anecdotes from his own experience and case histories from other business leaders give his thinking enormous power. The metaphor of the Swiss watch works well to frame the core ideas in this audiobook.

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

An important status update on the planet, conveyed with urgency.
Crawford narrates his audiobook about the consequences of growth at all costs. The history of humanity's extraction of the earth’s natural resources has reflected the premise that any concerns resulting from constant consumption are tomorrow's problem. In a consistently thoughtful and informed voice, Crawford makes clear that the time to take action is now. Listeners are provided an elemental framework to understand the environmental stakes. First-person accounts of phosphate mining, black markets for sand, and attempts to corral melting icebergs toward water-deprived ports give a succinct account of what's happening. Crawford relays his reporting and insights with an efficient, serious tone.
