A good read for any business leader but especially those willing to chart their own course.” — Michael Dell, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Dell What makes a successful CEO? Most people call to mind a familiar definition: “a seasoned manager with deep industry expertise.” Others might point to the qualities of today’s so-called celebrity CEOs—charisma, virtuoso communication skills, and a confident management style. But what really matters when you run an organization? What is the hallmark of exceptional CEO performance? Quite simply, it is the ...

Warren Buffett

Autor: Robert G. Hagstrom

Número de Páginas: 275

In Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind, Hagstrom breaks new ground with a deep analysis of Buffett's essential wisdom, an intricate mosaic of wide-ranging ideas and insights that Buffett calls a Money Mind. What exactly is a Money Mind? At one level, it's a way of thinking about major financial issues such as capital allocation. At another level, it summarizes an overall mindset for successfully investing in today’s fast-paced stock market, a mindset that depends on a commitment to learning, adapting, and facing down irrelevant noise. This is not a method book. It is a thinking book. Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind explains the philosophies of self-reliance, stoicism, rationalism, and pragmatism and their contributions to making intelligent investment decisions. It also outlines the evolution of value investing, discusses how to develop a business-driven investing mindset, and describes the defining traits of successful active management. Lastly, it examines the surprising aspects of a Money Mind – sportsman, teacher, and artist. In short, Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind helps readers understand the building blocks that go into making a ...

The Next CEO

Autor: Thomas Keil , Marianna Zangrillo

Número de Páginas: 163

Shortlisted for the Business Book of the Year (International Books category) 2022 Every year, companies spend billions of dollars in board time and headhunter fees on CEO searches. In fact, the selection of the next CEO is the single most important task of the board of directors. Yet, despite the huge amount of time, money, and attention given to the task, many CEO changes fail, with disastrous consequences for all concerned. With so much at stake, it is natural to ask what companies and their boards can do to increase the odds of success. Illustrated with an abundance of real-life examples from interviews with CEOs, C-suite members, members of the boards, and headhunters supporting CEO searches, The Next CEO explains how boards can improve the odds of success with CEO succession by identifying clear CEO mandates and associated CEO profiles and by selecting CEOs that are fi t for purpose. It further explains how the CEOs of leading corporations effectively take charge and create results, providing a roadmap for incoming CEOs. These ideas are brought to life with case studies and interviews with well-known corporations such as ABB, Alibaba, Freudenberg, GE, Google, HNA, HP,...

SUMMARY - The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational Blueprint for Success by William N. Thorndike

Autor: Shortcut Edition

Número de Páginas: 31

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you'll learn about eight executives who have enabled their companies to generate exceptional returns for their shareholders. You will also discover: the landmark decisions these leaders made to transform their companies ; the commonalities in their visions and methods; the skills that shareholders expect from executives in terms of value creation; the importance of being surrounded by people you can trust; how effective management can distance itself from the demands of market players. From an economic point of view, the raison d'être of a company is the creation of value. The role of the manager is therefore fundamental and many investors are interested in his skills to judge the potential value of a company. The Outsiders presented here are not always leaders known to the general public, but they have nevertheless been at the head of companies that have achieved exceptional results. Their backgrounds and methods demonstrate the importance of executive decision-making. How did the Outsiders manage to build companies that...

It's Not the how Or the what But the who

Autor: Claudio Fernandez Araoz

Número de Páginas: 256

Succeed by mastering the art of the who Why surround yourself with the best? Because it matters--in all aspects of life. In fact, in professional environments, getting people right--what global leadership authority Claudio Fernáaacute;ndez-Aráoz calls "the art of great 'who' decisions"--marks the difference between success and failure.

Autor: John Malone

Número de Páginas: 432

A legendary media pioneer tells his own incredible story—how he helped reinvent cable TV, launch high-speed internet, and shape the modern media landscape. John Malone remains a stranger to most people, though millions of us have been touched by the technologies and content he made possible. In Born to Be Wired, this “Cable Cowboy” shares stories of the people behind the most transformative business deals in media, entertainment, and technology. He recounts the remarkable tale of how America was wired, and how a strand of copper evolved from a rural TV-antenna service into a broadband backbone for phone, internet, and streaming services, paving the way for tech giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google. He gives an insider account of launching cable’s first TV networks, including Discovery, QVC, TBS, and Black Entertainment Television, and reveals his strategic thinking behind the largest media mergers of our time, such as Warner Bros. Discovery, and the global concert firm Live Nation Entertainment (Ticketmaster). On Wall Street, returns of Malone’s Liberty Media, which owns Formula One, are watched closely, and rival those of Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway, a...

Writing Computer and Information History

Autor: William Aspray

Número de Páginas: 515

This is not a book about the history of computing or the history of information. Instead, it is a meta-historical book about the research and writing of these types of history. The formal presentation of historical research in the form of a publication often hides the process by which the topic was selected, boundaries were drawn, evidence was selected, analytic approach was chosen and applied, results were presented, how this work fits into a larger body of scholarship, the implicit goals and biases of the author, and many other similar issues. This process of learning about the various ways to carry out computer history or information history can be enriched by this collection of reflective essays by experienced scholars, discussing the craft that they practice. This is a book that concerns both computer history and information history. The first scholarship in computer history by professionally trained scholars began to appear in the 1970s, so we are approaching a half century of research and publication in this area. The field has generated numerous pieces of exemplary scholarship from various perspectives such as intellectual history of individual technologies, business...

Beyond the Basics

Autor: Sammy Azzouz

Número de Páginas: 202

A Framework for Sustained Capital Growth If you already know the financial planning basics, the fundamentals, and the mistakes to avoid but are uncertain of what comes next to increase your wealth, this book is for you. Most personal finance books fall into one of two categories. Some cover the basics: the smart use of credit cards, debt management, buying a home, how mortgages work, and starting to save early. Some deal with managing your own money by trying to turn you into an investment genius, leaving you under the impression that just by following a few simple formulas or spending a few hours a week, you will beat the pros in an extremely competitive arena. Too few books present a comprehensive approach that takes you beyond the basics and focuses on the key decisions that will increase your wealth. Sammy Azzouz wrote this book to help bridge that gap—to provide an individual capital allocation framework for successful people who are looking for what to do next.

The Stress Test Every Business Needs

Autor: Jeffrey R. Greene , Steve Krouskos , Julie Hood , Harsha Basnayake , William Casey

Número de Páginas: 276

Future-proof your business today for stronger performance tomorrow The Stress Test Every Business Needs: A Capital Agenda for Confidently Facing Digital Disruption, Difficult Investors, Recessions and Geopolitical Threats provides a comprehensive approach to creating value and flexibility in an increasingly volatile business environment that presents both great risks and opportunities every day. The authors extend the banking “stress test” concept to a company’s Capital Agenda — how executives manage capital, execute transactions and apply corporate finance tools to strategic and operational decisions. Having a static Capital Agenda, however appropriate for your current market position, is not enough in today's uncertain world. Long-term success comes from building resilience into each element and in the way those elements interact. The book uses a broader definition of business stress that includes traditional macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, as well as technological disruption, hostile takeovers and activist shareholders. Companies that make poor strategic decisions or underperform operationally will likely find themselves facing great stress. And that stress is...

Surperformez en bourse avec les small caps

Autor: Rémi De Truchis De Varennes

Número de Páginas: 282

Dans le domaine de la Bourse, on appelle small caps (ou « petites capitalisations ») les entreprises dont la capitalisation est comprise entre trois cents millions et deux milliards de dollars. Le plus souvent jeunes et en plein développement, ces entreprises représentent un secteur d’investissement riche en opportunités et voient aujourd’hui leur popularité croître à grande vitesse alors qu’elles étaient relativement méconnues il y a encore quelques années. En se basant sur les small caps et les principes du value investing, cet ouvrage présente une approche de l’investissement à long terme équilibrée qui allie sens, performance et sécurité. Fort de son expérience en gestion de patrimoine, Rémi de Truchis de Varennes livre des outils concrets illustrés par des exemples réels, dans l’optique de rendre l’investissement dans les small caps accessible et compréhensible par tous. Bien plus qu'un simple guide d'investissement, cet ouvrage est une invitation à explorer une approche différente conjuguant performance financière et stratégie à la fois réfléchie et audacieuse.
