The Common Sense Way

A New Way to Think About Leading and Organizing

De: Pete Blaber

Narrado por: Felix Rodriguez

This is a book about common sense—what it is, how to make it, and how to put it into practice across all contexts of leadership and life. It's also a book of stories from my leadership journey across continents, cultures, and contexts (e.g., combat, business, and government). In this book, you’ll learn what I learned and what many other common-sense leaders across the ages have learned before us:

• What is common sense
• How our brains "make sense" of what's going on around us
• How to use common sense to motivate, inspire, and persuade
• How to keep cool in a crisis and make sensible choices about what to do next
• How to use common sense to select the best people and build the best teams
• How to create a common sense of shared purpose and direction
• How to live, learn, and lead the “Common Sense Way"

A must read if you want or currently "lead".

this should be required reading for everyone who wants to be a leader whether in the civilian sector, the military or even among friends or family planning an event or trip. Blaber details how and why good leadership is dependent on our natural instincts that are too often ignored for no good reason. So far, he is my favorite non-fiction author in my short time here on Audible. Will also buy the hardcopy of this book immediately.

Terrific, but ..,

Lessons that extend well beyond common sense. From someone who has earned deep respect. But I regret that he chose the hcq debacle over news conspiracies mills as his example for the real world impacts of not using common sense.

Straightforward view more leaders should take

Too many policies and procedures are in place that don’t make sense but we follow them because “it’s the way we’ve always done it”….

How to learn common sense

They say that you can't teach common sense. Follow Pete's principals for learning how to teach your mind the method of common sense. Pete 's been there and done that and more.

Too trumpy toward the end

This book is just okay; not as interesting or enjoyable as his 3M book. It takes an unfortunate trumpy turn toward the end, which trumpheads will enjoy if they manage to finish the book.
