PRAISE FOR THE CREDIT INVESTOR'S HANDBOOK "Credit analysis is an underappreciated skill that is essential for investing a cross all asset classes, private and public. Michael's book is an incredibly detailed, step-by-step 'how-to' manual for analyzing credit investments, from performing to distressed, and understanding the complexities of the bankruptcy process." --Joyce Chang, Chair of Global Research, JP Morgan "While there are many books on investing in equities, until now, there were virtually no comprehensive books on investing in debt. The Credit Investor's Handbook fills this gap. While the book is focused on the debt markets, its analytical approach is extremely relevant to equities investors. Furthermore, Michael's use of real-life examples and humor make it an enjoyable read. The Credit Investor's Handbook is a 'must-read'for anyone pursuing a career in research, investment banking, capital allocation, and, most importantly, investing in an ever-evolving global marketplace." --Mario Gabelli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gabelli Funds "The Credit Investor's Handbook is an extraordinarily comprehensive look at credit investment strategies. It is chock full of rich examples that are bound to be useful in assessing the credit excesses that will undoubtedly unravel in the years ahead. I wish someone had handed me a copy when I came into the business." --Seth A. Klarman, CEO and Portfolio Manager, The Baupost Group "When I got my pre-publication copy of The Credit Investor's Handbook, I turned first to the chapters on distressed debt investing. I found a very helpful, logically organized introduction to the process and some fascinating 'warstories.'Like all good investment books, The Handbook doesn't purport to be a how-to that will yield easy profits, but it does a great job of explaining the elements that must be mastered." --Howard Marks, Co-Chairman, Oaktree Capital Management "Michael's excellent book, The Credit Investor's Handbook, is like a traditional bank's training program on steroids. It offers the same kind of detailed, real-life grounding in financial analysis that was critical to my early success on Wall Street. The book teaches you the practical skills needed to succeed and steers you away from academic theories that don't work in the real world of credit markets. Michael is a great teacher with the unique ability to breakdown complex analysis into simple steps, making it easy to learn. He also brings the same passion and terrific sense of humor he uses in his classroom to the pages of this textbook. I highly recommend it as a 'must-read'for all up-and-coming credit analysts." --Harvey Schwartz, CEO of the Carlyle Group

"Many workers believe that to compete with other top talent they must embrace a culture that rewards long hours and constant connection to work. Businesses and society have encouraged this by endorsing busyness, overwork, and extreme commitment as the most valued traits in workers. Sometimes that endorsement is explicit, as when Elon Musk told Twitter employees to work "long hours at high intensity" or get fired. But more often it's an implicit contract, a buildup of organizational and cultural norms and the adoption of new technologies that increasingly make it easy to tether people to work. Either way, this workaholic behavior is unhealthy and counterproductive for workers and for organizations. It's time to fight back. Malissa Clark, the preeminent researcher on workaholic culture, shows you how in Never Not Working. Finally, a book that looks at overwork and burnout not just from the individual's perspective but from an organizational perspective, too. Clark delivers a comprehensive, nuanced definition of workaholism, busting myths along the way-such as the idea that the number of hours worked is the strongest predictor of workaholic tendencies. (It's not.) She also helps you see if you're creating workaholics in your organization or if you're falling prey to the phenomenon yourself. Clark shows you how to escape the trap of putting work at the center of everything and thus losing your well-being-or your company's performance, in the process. Deeply researched and written for everyone from leaders to individual contributors, Never Not Working is the essential guide to identifying workaholism in yourself and others and starting on the road to recovery"--

'An incredibly propulsive read. It will absolutely challenge you, in the best way possible, to change the way you think about work.' Anne Helen Petersen'A sharp analysis of modern work culture.' Vauhini VaraThe Good Enough Job reminds us that the biggest goal of all is to live a life we are happy with, and in which work is but one of the multitude of facets that make us who we are. An antidote to the toxic #hustle movement convincing us all we need to find fulfilment in the office, it denounces the dangers of burnout linked to those of us who cannot answer the question: beyond work, what's left?Conversations of burnout have bubbled to the top of the cultural zeitgeist as the line between work and not-work continues to blur. Burnout and workaholism are symptoms of a deeper root cause: a lack of separation between who we are and what we do. This book is not a credo against looking to work for fulfilment, nor is it in favour of treating work as a necessary evil. It is a guide to developing a healthier relationship to work through the stories of people who have successfully done so. These are stories that invite us to re-evaluate what makes us happy, and how we can work to live, rather than the other way round.

All organizations are becoming service organizations. But most weren't built to deliver services successfully end-to-end, and the human, operational and financial impacts are abundantly clear. In the digital era the stakes are even higher, given how rapidly services change. Yet default working practices (governance, planning, funding, leadership, reporting, programme and team structures) inside large organizations haven't changed. Rather than modernize just one service at a time, it's the underlying organizational conditions that need to be transformed -- anything less is futile. The Service Organization is the result of years of research and consulting, as well as dozens of interviews with executives. It explores significant challenges that leaders will recognize, and turns them into solvable puzzles by providing practical advice and tools that reimagine what the organization does from the perspective of its customers -- and it organizes the activity needed to deliver the best outcomes. This book is for everyone involved, from designers to technologists and from operational staff to policymakers and leaders. It includes surprisingly simple and doable, but non-obvious, steps that don't depend on seniority or pay band and that are typically overlooked by even the most progressive professions, teams and companies. Kate Tarling sets a bold, ambitious and practical agenda for all service organizations. Her book is full of behind-the-scenes examples from the global companies, public sector bodies and non-profits that are now delivering and leading successful services. It shows how to reinvent organizations so they rely not just on 'transforming technology' but on putting the success of their services at the heart of how they operate.

If you've never read The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, you've been missing out on one of the best-selling leadership books of all time. If you have read the original version, then you'll love this new expanded and updated one.

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA call to action for the creative class and labour movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big Media.Corporate concentration has breached the stratosphere, as have corporate profits. An ever-expanding constellation of industries are now monopolies (where sellers have excessive power over buyers) or monopsonies (where buyers hold the whip hand over sellers) - or both.Scholar Rebecca Giblin and writer and activist Cory Doctorow argue we're in a new era of 'chokepoint capitalism', with exploitative businesses creating insurmountable barriers to competition that enable them to capture value that should rightfully go to others. All workers are weakened by this, but the problem is especially well illustrated by the plight of creative workers. From Amazon's use of digital rights management and bundling to radically change the economics of book publishing, to Google and Facebook's siphoning away of ad revenues from news media, and the Big Three record labels' use of inordinately long contracts to up their own margins at the cost of artists, chokepoints are everywhere.By analysing book publishing and news, live music and music streaming, screenwriting, radio, and more, Giblin and Doctorow deftly show how powerful corporations construct 'anti-competitive flywheels' designed to lock in users and suppliers, make their markets hostile to new entrants, and then force workers and suppliers to accept unfairly low prices.Chokepoint Capitalism is a call to workers of all sectors to unite to help smash these chokepoints and take back the power and profit that's being heisted away - before it's too late.

"You can't motivate people, but you can help people learn to motivate themselves. This second edition includes new material on inspiring self-motivation in remote workers and a distributed workforce. What if the answer to motivating people is to stop trying to motivate them? Leadership researcher, consultant, and coach Susan Fowler says that overtly trying to motivate your employees can be frustrating for everyone involved and doesn't work in the long term. You can't force people to be motivated-but you can help them find the inner commitment that increases productivity and engagement and gives them a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment. The second edition of this bestseller includes a new chapter on remote and hybrid work as well as updated content on postpandemic management, DEIJ initiatives, and the Great Resignation. Fowler uses the Self-Determination Theory to show the positive effects of optimal motivation on people's vitality, productivity, and creativity and lays out a tested model and course of action for leaders. In addition, she includes compelling examples and anecdotal evidence from applying her techniques in organizations and with individuals worldwide. Fowler shows leaders how to get out of the way and encourage their people to self-motivate and foster personal excellence"--
