THINK TALK CREATE Building Workplaces Fit For Humans

Narrator James Fouhey's vocal clarity and melodic phrasing have the sound of an armchair observer who is gently sharing his perspectives. His slow pacing provides the space listeners need to absorb these humanistic management ideas. In organizations and communities of all sizes, the authors say, people in decision-making positions are often too autocratic, too focused on numbers and concrete outcomes to consider human input and potential reactions. Fouhey's relaxed, cheerful approach works especially well with the extended anecdotes about executives who came to learn the limitations of analytic thinking. These often poignant stories describe how various leaders discovered the value of thoughtful, more inclusive ways to get things done. The slow unfolding of these narratives, along with Fouhey's performance, makes this audiobook a powerful learning experience. T.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2022]
