    In the 1980s and 1990s many in the West came to believe in the myth of an East-Asian economic miracle, with countries seen as not just development prodigies but as a unified bloc, culturally and economically similar, and inexorably on the rise. In How Asia Works, Joe Studwell distills extensive research into the economics of nine countries—Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and China—into an accessible narrative that debunks Western misconceptions, shows what really happened in Asia and why, and for once makes clear why some countries have boomed while others have languished.Impressive in scope, How Asia Works is essential listening for anyone interested in a region that will shape the future of the world.

    “A well-documented, in-depth look at the Street that names heroes and villains and pulls no punches.” —The Boston Globe 
     
    Dan Reingold was a top analyst for fourteen years, chief competitor to Salomon Smith Barney’s Jack Grubman in the red-hot telecom sector. He was part of the Street and believed in it. But in this action-packed, highly personal memoir Reingold describes how his enthusiasm gave way to disgust as he learned how deeply corrupted Wall Street and much of corporate America had become during the roaring stock market bubble of the 1990s. 
     
    Confessions of a Wall Street Analyst provides a front-row seat at one of the most dramatic—and ultimately tragic—periods in financial history. Reingold recounts his introduction to a world of leaks and secret deal-making; his experiences with corporate fraud; and Wall Street’s alarming penchant for lavish spending and multimillion-dollar pay packages. He spars with arch rival Grubman; fends off intense pressures from bankers and corporate CEOs; and is wooed by Morgan Stanley’s John Mack and CSFB’s Frank Quattrone. He tells of confidential deals whispered about days before their official announcement, and recalls the moment he learned that WorldCom was massively cooking its books. And he reveals his shock at being an unwitting catalyst for a series of sexually explicit e-mails that would rock Wall Street; bring Grubman to his knees; and contribute to the stepping aside of Grubman’s boss, Citigroup CEO Sandy Weill. In addition, he shows how government investigators never got to the heart of the ethical and legal transgressions of the era, leaving investors—even sophisticated professionals—cheated.  
     
    Reingold’s stories range from outrageous to hilarious to simply absurd. But together they provide a sobering exposé of Wall Street: a jungle of greed and ego brimming with conflicts and inside information, and a business absurdly out of touch with the Main Street it claims to serve. 
     
    “Shows us that much of what propelled the meteoric rise of the stock market in the late nineties was self-interested, sometimes criminal, hot air . . . a riveting and revealing account.” —Michael K. Powell, former chairman, FCC

    The inability to make decisions. Competition for resources.  Friction among team members. These problems are endemic in  organizations of all sizes, in all industries, across all  continents. Leaders usually assume that if their teams can just  communicate better, or trust each other more, or overcome some  other set of individual or collective dysfunctions, these problems  can be resolved.  And so they call in the psychologists, the  coaches, and organization development consultants.  But the  problems dont go away.    In fact, the problems often arent psychological or  behavioral at all.  Rather, theyre caused by a failure  to understand how managerial team building and decision-making  actually work.  Through research and interviews with CEOs and  top executives at major companies like MasterCard, DuPont and  Morgan Stanley, the authors found that many leaders see themselves  as leading not from the top of an organizational pyramid but from  the center of several concentric rings of teams, both formal and  informal, that surround them. This book shows how executives in  organizations of any size can better configure, manage, and  maximize their leverage of the formal and informal teams around  them. Leaders will learn:       The best executives surround themselves with a portfolio  of teams, not a single team consisting of their direct reports.  These portfolios consist of a mix of formal teams and ad-hoc  kitchen cabinets of close advisors.    Ad-hoc teams often provide more value to leaders than their  formal teams.   The Senior Management Team, often viewed as the top executive  body of an organization, is often the most dysfunctional team of  all - and how it can be fixed.  The most effective CEOs surround themselves with four types of  teams, each with specific functions that they are uniquely suited  to fill.  Providing clarity around roles and decision-making can be a  more effective key to team success than putting more effort into  team building.    This book enables leaders and members of their teams to clarify  roles and maximize strategic capability, generating faster, better  decisions and a higher level of organizational alignment for  improved results.
