Auction Scandals

Summary

Auction Scandals explores the often-hidden world of art auction fraud and market manipulation. It reveals how practices like shill bidding, where auctioneers artificially inflate prices, and bid rigging, where bidders collude to suppress prices, can undermine the integrity of the art market. The book argues that the subjective nature of art valuation, combined with a lack of transparency, makes the market vulnerable to corruption. Understanding these issues is crucial for anyone involved in art investment or collection. The book systematically uncovers the various schemes employed to deceive buyers and sellers, drawing on legal cases, investigative reports, and auction data analysis to expose patterns of fraud. It also examines the ethical implications and potential conflicts of interest involving auction house staff, consignors, and artists. Readers will gain valuable insights into identifying red flags, mitigating risks, and advocating for increased transparency. As the book progresses, it moves from foundational concepts to specific examples of fraud and practical guidance.

Making the Climb - From...

Peter Oliver

This book is the antidote to the "sink or swim" approach that sabotages too many aspiring sales professionals. Most emerging sales managers receive little or no training before taking on the job. That is a huge mistake. The climb from individual contributor to manager is worth planning and preparing for, because this role is not only among the toughest on the organizational chart, but it is also the one that offers the most upside (and downside), both personally and for the organization. Making the Climb by Peter Oliver is the must-have playbook for anyone making the transition from salesperson to sales manager: 
 
 
 
● Allows managers and leaders to identify the mindsets, key behaviors, and skills needed to achieve success. 
 
 
 
● Provides strategies for overcoming the three most common pitfalls emerging sales managers face, to a successful move from salesperson to sales manager. 
 
 
 
● Outlines a proven action plan for emerging sales managers and their mentors. 
 
 
 
● Helps salespeople emerge on purpose into the next phase of their career—and become true sales leaders.

The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy...

PsyD Simon A. Rego, PhD Julian...

Leaders are expected to be strong, dynamic, intelligent, and level-headed. As a leader, you may feel compelled to embody a "superhuman" standard or make personal sacrifices in order to get a project done well and on time. You might ignore the warning signs of mental health issues such as sleeplessness and fatigue. And, to make matters worse, you may rely on unhealthy behaviors such as consuming alcohol to deal with the overwhelming stress of daily life. So, how can you break this destructive cycle, prioritize your mental health, and optimize performance? 
 
This workbook offers skills and strategies based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to soothe stress, avoid exhaustion, and build the resilience required to show up as your best self. You'll gain a greater understanding of the specific psychological challenges inherent in leadership positions, the emotional toll it takes professionally and personally, and—most importantly—how to manage these challenges effectively. 
 
As a leader, admitting that you are struggling can be difficult. You may have feelings of shame, or fears of being stigmatized. But when weighed against the increasing costs to your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, you simply can't afford to ignore it!
