The Money Makers, Anne-Marie Fink

The Money Makers: How Extraordinary Managers Win in a World Turned Upside Down, by Anne-Marie Fink. She insists that when a manager thinks like an investor he is far more likely to succeed. The book clearly makes the case by laying out 11 myth-breaking rules for how to run a business. Some will seem obvious at first blush like - get more reward for the risk you take. Yet she takes a fresh look at how this can be effected, giving helpful, real-world examples. Then she also presents counter-intuitive rules that are amazingly insightful. One would hardly believe it, but ultimately good performance requires some inefficiency and duplication. Why? You will have to read the book to find out. Loaded with great ideas and plenty of examples, this book is designed for managers, investors, and entrepreneurs on every level. A useful tool and an interesting read.
