  "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
  
  Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Self-Reliance, first published in 1841, is a cornerstone essay advocating for individuality and arguing that true strength comes not from following the crowd, but from cultivating an unwavering belief in one's own ideas and instincts.
  
  Emerson advocates for the rejection of conformity and societal expectations, encouraging his audience to rely on their own intuition and inner convictions and promotes the idea that true wisdom arises from individual experience and authenticity.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803—1882) was a prominent American essayist, lecturer, and transcendentalist philosopher, best known for his contributions to the American transcendentalism movement and for his influential works on individualism and self-reliance. His writings emphasise his belief in the potential of each person to discover their own truth and destiny, and his ideas challenged societal norms and encouraged spiritual and intellectual independence. These ideas continue to resonate, inspiring movements centred on personal freedom, self-expression, and the pursuit of authenticity.

  This book is not designed to be a how-to exercise. It is designed to bring out your leadership and decision-making based on your own realities. Each chapter has a personal story along my career/life journey that exemplifies calculated decisions that have had an impact in my life. Hopefully the stories will provide a backdrop for individuals to examine their own journey in decision making. 
  The book Calculated Risk is constructed to provide elements of decision-making while posing questions to assist one’s reflection on how you have made decisions in life, career and leadership. The reflective questions will prompt a metacognitive analysis of how you view situations; your environment, and experiences thus allowing for better decision-making in high-stakes contexts going forward. 
  The frame that will assist in your analysis I call “CRISP” Decisions. A CRISP decision is not a process, but rather the elements that make up a calculated decision. A CRISP decision can happen quickly and instinctively or thoughtfully and strategically. I have found characteristics that enhance a CRISP decision. Each chapter highlights a characteristic to support the attitude needed in goal-oriented decisions. Your key takeaways from this book will be:

  Strategic Risk Management - New...

  This book presents a new approach to risk management that enables executives to think systematically and strategically about future risks and deal proactively with threats to their competitive advantages in an ever more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. 
   
   
  Organizations typically manage risks through traditional tools such as insurance and risk mitigation; some employ enterprise risk management, which looks at risk holistically throughout the organization. But these tools tend to focus organizational attention on past actions and compliance. Executives need to tackle risk head-on as an integral part of their strategic planning process, not by looking in the rearview mirror. 
   
  Strategic Risk Management (SRM) is a forward-looking approach that helps teams anticipate events or exposures that fundamentally threaten or enhance a firm's position. The authors, experts in both business strategy and risk management, define strategic risks and show how they differ from operational risks. They offer a road map that describes architectural elements of SRM (knowledge, principles, structures, and tools) to show how leaders can integrate them to effectively design and implement a future-facing SRM program. SRM gives organizations a competitive advantage over those stuck in outdated risk management practices. For the first time, it enables them to look squarely out the front windshield.

  Another Way - Building Companies...

  Dave Whorton was John Doerr's associate partner at high-flying Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers during Silicon Valley's big shift. After Netscape's IPO, he witnessed the VC industry pivot from a proven forty-year playbook of managing risk to something much more aggressive: Get big fast. Don't worry about profitability. Cash out and find another venture. 
   
   
   
  And for a while, Whorton took part in this whirlwind as he pursued his dream of becoming the next Hewlett or Packard. It wasn't long, though, before it all got to be too much. Whorton recognized that if "get big fast" was the formula for building a great technology company in the twenty-first century, he was happy to let someone else do it. It just wasn't for him. 
   
   
   
  Whorton went on a journey to find a better way to build companies: a way focused on long-term stability and steady growth, funded through profitability; a way in which leaders were committed to a Purpose greater than personal wealth generation, to being People First, and making their companies endure. He calls these companies "Evergreen." 
   
   
   
  Whorton's story, combined with his Evergreen 7Ps® framework, offers practical steps to create and lead enduring businesses.
