But as he sat in his office before worship, he received a call from his youngest child… and listened in horror as she was brutally shot to death.

How to read a 10-K like a professional investor If you want to be a great investor, you should like engaging with one of the essential tools in the trade: the 10-K. Warren Buffett has stated that he enjoys curling up with annual reports. Buffett said he "reads 500 pages every day" when asked how he became smarter. That's how, like compound interest, knowledge grows. Indeed, savvy fund managers regard 10-Ks as riddles or treasure hunts, relishing the opportunity to pore over even the tiniest footnotes. Individual investors may not have the same experience as a fund manager who reviews ...

There are so many books and resources on strategy and strategic planning that you can wind up feeling confused and overwhelmed. However, this book is different. It’s written...

Agile transformations are hard; they express "change" so no one wants them; they can be hugely expensive, take months, sometimes years to implement, and even then, may not stick. I start this book by saying, "It is not Command and Control, it is Authority" - but it is much, much more. Agile should not be a transformation or a new way of working - agile should be the default way we all work. Throwing an agile coach at the teams might help in the short run, even though, without any true authority, it is sometimes hard to get anyone to even pay attention to them. But it will not solve anything...

Unfortunately, we've all seen it happen. When faced with a problem, rather than working cooperatively to come up with a solution, your manager or colleagues come swooping in, squawking loudly, dump orders riddled with formulaic advice, and then take off, leaving you behind to clean up the mess. Or—let's be honest: there may have been a time (or three) when you have been guilty of doing this very thing yourself. While this happens in every workplace worldwide more frequently than ever, it doesn't have to. Through the story of Charlie, a seagull who doesn't understand how his management ...
