Crucial Accountability: Tools for Resolving Violated Expectations, Broken Commitments, and Bad Behavior, Second Edition - Kerry Patterson - Bog -

Hold anyone accountable. Master performance discussions. Get RESULTS. Behind the problems that routinely plague our organizations and families, you''ll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with broken promises. Colleagues break a rule, coworkers miss a deadline, friends fail to live up to commitments (or just plain behave badly), and nobody says a word. Nobody holdsanyone accountable. With repeated infractions, individuals become increasingly upset until they finally do speak theirminds, but they do so poorly--often creating whole new sets of problems. Research proves that mishandled disappointments aren''t just morale killers, they''re institution killers--diminishing organizational performance by 20 to 50 percent and accounting for up to 90 percent of all divorces. Drawing from 10,000 hours of observations, Crucial Accountability teaches you how to deal with common infractions such as: An employee speaks to you in an insulting tone that crosses the line between sarcasm and insubordination. Now what? Your boss just demanded that you meet a deadline you know you can''t meet--and he clearly doesn''t want to hear complaints about it. Your son walks through the door sporting colorful new body art that raises your blood pressure by 40 points. Speak now or pay later. Family members fret over how to tell Granddad that he should no longer drive his car. This is going to get ugly. A nurse worries about what to say to an abusive physician. She quickly remembers "how things work around here" and decides not to say anything. Everyone knows how to run for cover, or, if sufficiently provoked, step up to problems in a way that causes a real ruckus. Crucial Accountability teaches you how to deal with violated expectations in a waythat solves the problem at hand without harming the relationship--and, in fact, even strengthens it. Broken promises, missed deadlines, poor behavior--they don''t just make others’ lives miserable; they can sap up to 50 percent of organizational performance and account for the vast majority of divorces. Crucial Accountability offers the tools for improving relationships in the workplace and in life and for resolving all these problems--permanently. PRAISE FOR CRUCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY : "Revolutionary ideas ... opportunities for breakthrough ..." -- Stephen R.

TAIL RISK HEDGING: Creating Robust Portfolios for Volatile Markets - Vineer Bhansali - Bog - McGraw-Hill Education - Europe - Plusbog.dk

TAIL RISK HEDGING: Creating Robust Portfolios for Volatile Markets - Vineer Bhansali - Bog - McGraw-Hill Education - Europe - Plusbog.dk

"TAIL RISKS" originate from the failure of mean reversion and the idealized bell curve of asset returns, which assumes that highly probable outcomes occur near the center of the curve and that unlikely occurrences, good and bad, happen rarely, if at all, at either "tail" of the curve. Ever since the global financial crisis, protecting investments against these severe tail events has become a priority for investors and money managers, but it issomething Vineer Bhansali and his team at PIMCO have been doing for over a decade. In one of the first comprehensive and rigorous books ever written on tail risk hedging, he lays out a systematic approach to protecting portfolios from, and potentially benefiting from, rare yet severe market outcomes. Tail Risk Hedging is built on the author''spractical experience applying macroeconomic forecasting and quantitative modeling techniques across asset markets. Using empirical data and charts, he explains the consequences of diversification failure in tail events andhow to manage portfolios when this happens. He provides an easy-to-use, yet rigorous framework for protecting investment portfolios against tail risk and using tail hedging to play offense. Tail Risk Hedging exploreshow to: - - Generate profits from volatility and illiquidity during tail-risk events in equity and credit markets - - Buy attractively priced tail hedges that add value to a portfolio and quantify basis risk - - Interpret the psychology of investors in option pricing and portfolio construction - - Customize explicit hedges for retirement investments - - Hedge risk factors such as duration risk and inflation risk Managing tail risk is today''s most significant development in risk management, and this thorough guide helps you access every aspect of it. With the time-tested and mathematically rigorous strategies described here, including pieces of computer code, you get access to insights to help mitigate portfolio losses in significant downturns, create explosive liquidity while unhedged participants are forced to sell, and create more aggressive yet tail-risk-focused portfolios. The book also gives you a unique, higher level view of how tail risk is related to investing in alternatives, and of derivatives such as zerocost collars and variance swaps. Volatilityand tail risks are here to stay, and so should your clients'' wealth when you use Tail Risk Hedging for managing portfolios. PRAISE FOR TAIL RISK HEDGING : "Managing, mitigating, and even exploiting the risk of bad times are the most important concerns in investments. Bhansali puts tail risk hedging and tail risk management under a microscope--pricing, implementation, and showing how we can fine-tune our risk exposures, which are all crucial ways in how we can better weather our bad times." -- ANDREW ANG, Ann F. Kaplan Professor of Business at Columbia University "This book is critical and accessible reading for fiduciaries, financial consultants and investors interested in both theoretical foundations and practical considerations for how to frame hedging downside risk in portfolios. It is a tremendous resource for anyoneinvolved in asset allocation today." -- CHRISTOPHER C. GECZY, Ph.D., Academic Director, Wharton Wealth Management Initiative and Adj. Associate Professor of Finance, The Wharton School "Bhansali''s book demonstrates how tail risk hedging can work, be concretely implemented, and lead to higher returns so that it is possible to have your cake and eat it too! A must read for the savvy investor." -- DIDIER SORNETTE, Professor on the Chair of Entrepreneurial Risks, ETH Zurich
