  Extraordinary Groups - How...

  Why are some teams described in such exceptional terms, while most  are not? Bellman and Ryan argue that people instinctively sense  when a group experience is something special, something different  from the ordinary, something that surpasses their expectations in a  positive, remarkable, and hard-to-describe way. These extraordinary  groups achieve outstanding results and their members--individually  or collectively--experience a profound shift in how they see their  world. They are transformed.   However large or small, visible or intangible, such  transformative shifts happen because the group experience satisfies  core needs that members intuitively bring to any group they join.  Bellman and Ryan's study suggests there are six needs, forming  three pairs related to one's self, the group, and the world in  which the group exists. These six elements combine in what the  authors describe as the Group Needs model:    Acceptance of self while moving toward one's  Potential  A Bond with others that grows while pursuing a common  Purpose  Understanding the Reality of the world while  collectively making an Impact    Whether at work, at home, or in the community, when a group  experience meets two or more of these needs, it will stand out for  the members of the team. Based on extensive research and filled  with examples from amazing groups, Extraordinary Groups  presents the Group Needs Model to help anyone nurture extraordinary  experiences in their groups and achieve outstanding results. This  book is a timely resource for anyone who leads groups including HR  and OD professionals, managers, executives, nonprofit managers and  directors, virtual teams leaders, and trainers.

  The Watchdog That Didn't Bark -...

  Dean Starkman

  The Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter details “how the U.S. business press could miss the most important economic implosion of the past eighty years” (Eric Alterman, media columnist for The Nation).   In this sweeping, incisive post-mortem, Dean Starkman exposes the critical shortcomings that softened coverage in the business press during the mortgage era and the years leading up to the financial collapse of 2008. He examines the deep cultural and structural shifts—some unavoidable, some self-inflicted—that eroded journalism’s appetite for its role as watchdog. The result was a deafening silence about systemic corruption in the financial industry. Tragically, this silence grew only more profound as the mortgage madness reached its terrible apogee from 2004 through 2006. Starkman frames his analysis in a broad argument about journalism itself, dividing the profession into two competing approaches—access reporting and accountability reporting—which rely on entirely different sources and produce radically different representations of reality. As Starkman explains, access journalism came to dominate business reporting in the 1990s, a process he calls “CNBCization,” and rather than examining risky, even corrupt, corporate behavior, mainstream reporters focused on profiling executives and informing investors. Starkman concludes with a critique of the digital-news ideology and corporate influence, which threaten to further undermine investigative reporting, and he shows how financial coverage, and journalism as a whole, can reclaim its bite.   “Can stand as a potentially enduring case study of what went wrong and why.”—Alec Klein, national bestselling author of Aftermath   “With detailed statistics, Starkman provides keen analysis of how the media failed in its mission at a crucial time for the U.S. economy.”—Booklist

  Inside the Black Box explains how quantitative and algorithmic trading strategies work in non-mathematical terms supplemented by anecdotes and real-world stories. There is a large chasm in the understanding of what quants do with quants often perpetuating the darkness by cloaking even trivial facts about their strategies and operations in secrecy. Most of their strategies are understandable and with that understanding investment professionals can better assess a particular fund's value. The book also explains how quant strategies fit into a portfolio, why they are valuable, and how to evaluate a quant manager. How do quants capture alpha? What is the real level of discretion in quant trading? What is the difference between theory-driven systems vs. data-mining strategies? What are the typical structures of quant systems? How do quants model risk? How do you know if it works? What are execution algorithms?
