Story
In our fast-paced, electronic society, the most basic social interaction - talking face-to-face - can be a challenge for even the most educated and self-assured individuals. And yet making conversation is a highly practical skill: those who do it well shine at networking parties, interviews, and business lunches. Good conversation also opens doors to a happier love life, warmer friendships, and more rewarding time with family.

Story
The lesson seems so basic. Yet time after time, good companies stumble and lose their stride - just when they were poised for rapid growth. Why? Because their leaders treated hiring as a tedious chore. They posted an ad hoc ad. Took the first person with the right skills. Hired for immediate needs, rather than future flourishing. In Hire Smart from the Start, Dave Carvajal distills lessons gained from 20 years in the trenches, building out and staffing two enormously successful Internet startups and helping firms like Tumblr, and Shutterstock land the talent they need to reach their greatest potential.

Medical doctor and researcher Dr. Kris Verburgh is quickly emerging as one of the world's leading research authorities on the science of aging.

We have all had experiences with people that prove that those with the highest IQs are not always the most successful. What could these very smart people be missing? Chances are it's emotional intelligence (EQ) - the ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions in ourselves and others. Sounds very powerful, doesn't it? Could we really manage our own emotions, as opposed to having our emotions run the show? Could we really effect change in the emotions of our coworkers or family members?

Learning the skills and techniques of artful reading can improve your life in many ways, whether you're a fiction reader, an aspiring writer, a book club member, or a student.And the best part: These skills are not difficult or unwieldy; rather, they are well within your reach.

A change on your perspective

Publisher's Summary
In this short, easy-to-listen fable, best-selling author Mark Miller reveals five habits that underlie leadership character and that determine a leader's success - and he teaches leaders how to develop these habits.
Like Miller's previous books, this one follows the life, learning, and influence of Debbie Bruster. Here she finds herself mentoring Blake Brown, the son of her former mentor. Rather than answer Blake's questions about leadership directly, Debbie introduces him to other leaders, each of whom shares a unique perspective on what really makes a leader successful. As Blake puts the pieces together, he discovers his problem is not one of skills but of character - that leadership is more about the heart of the leader than the head or hands. In fact, Miller summarized these traits with the acronym HEART: Hunger for Wisdom, Expect the Best, Accept Responsibility, Respond with Courage, and Think Others First.
With the help of his new friends and mentors, Blake is able to build a plan to transform his heart. The good news is that leadership is not just the purview of the few - it is within reach for millions of aspiring leaders around the world.
This book is the road map they need to get their lives and careers on track.

Excellent Leadership book!!!!
I loved the whole book. I listen in my vehicle and found there was so much value from this book that I have listened to it again at my desk and taken notes throughout. The teaching on leadership character traits was fantastic and the world could use many more leaders that follow this teaching. Well worth listening to for anyone already in leadership, wanting to be in leadership or just wanting to be a better person. The book was told as a story and so easy to follow and not get bored. Can’t say enough good things about it. GET IT!!!

Concise, useful content.
Many of the points made in the book focus on the simple idea that, essentially, what makes a good leader is their intention. FOR others for their own sake or FOR yourself and your own admiration and glory? The only thing that might annoy some readers is the dialogue. It does come across incredibly uncomfortable, like something you'd read in a Sunday school cartoon textbook. No bother to me! Good stuff!

This should've been an article...
Too short for a book, too long for an article, the publication is lost somewhere in the middle.
A few good concepts, but nothing really new or innovative.
Storyline is irrelevant and annoying. It mostly serves as filler. The book has cheesy cliches scattered throughout.
A disappointing read.

Good content that will be valuable. Unfortunately I was looking forward to the end of the audio book only a quarter of the way in. I had a very hard time listening to the narrator. His was of halting and dropping tone drew my attention away from the message. It constantly reminded me of Don Adams playing Maxwell Smart, combined with William Shatner.
