The Go-Giver Leader

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Go-Giver Leader by Bob Burg and John David Mann, read by the authors with Ana Gabriel Mann.

Ben is an ambitious young executive charged with persuading 500 employee shareholders to agree to a merger that will save their company. But despite his best efforts, he can't convince anyone to buy in to the deal.

During his week at the company, Ben realizes that his aggressive style is actually making it harder to reach his goals.

Will Ben find a way to sway the shareholders before the climactic vote? The answer may surprise you, as you follow Ben on his journey to understanding that the path to genuine influence lies less in taking leadership than in giving it.

Bill and Dave's session was one of the highlights of FutureFest 2016. Hundreds of people packed into The Social Stage, a relatively small space, to see them; the laughter from their audience was heard throughout the venue. Clearly they made a significant impact as they managed to sell more books than all the other speakers at FutureFest combined

In business, we have lots of ways of helping people become better leaders, managers and entrepreneurs in designing more effective enterprises. It's shocking in contrast how little help we give people in designing their lives. Design thinking at Stanford is making major contributions in many fields and Burnett and Evans have finally extended it to empower individuals to do "life design." It's about time—I recommend it highly

—— John Christensen; President, Foresight first, Inc

Imagine a conversation between Vaclav Havel and Steve Jobs—the playwright-become-politician who drew on an older wisdom about the good life lived in the modern world, and the iconic visionary who worked his dreams into the marketplace of the 21st-century—and you begin to get some sense of the importance of Designing Your Life. Playful and serious at the same time, the authors have drawn on years of working in the design world of Silicon Valley and years of teaching at Stanford University to invite us into an honest conversation about forming a well-lived life

—— Steven Garber, The Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation and Culture
