The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business

By Patrick M. Lencioni *
Narrated by Patrick M. Lencioni

Retailer’s Description

There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster innovation? Smarter employees? No, New York Times best-selling author, Patrick Lencioni, argues that the seminal difference between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how healthy they are.

By Grant Cardone
Narrated by Gildan Author

While most people operate with only three degrees of action-no action, retreat, or normal action-if you’re after big goals, you don’t want to settle for the ordinary. To reach the next level, you must understand the coveted 4th degree of action. This 4th degree, also know as the 10X Rule, is that level of action that guarantees companies and individuals realize their goals and dreams.

4. The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business

By Josh Kaufman
Narrated by Josh Kaufman

Retailer’s Description

Getting an MBA is an expensive choice-one almost impossible to justify regardless of the state of the economy. Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business. You can get better results (and save hundreds of thousands of dollars) by skipping business school altogether.
