Narratives that Change Minds
Among the most challenging tasks any leader faces are communicating to various audiences how to change behaviors to limit risks, address crises, and change the way an organization operates-especially as they relate to scientific and technical issues. Executives, managers, and public officials deal with multiple audiences-employees, boards, and the public-who may have competing perspectives or lack an understanding of technical or scientific issues affecting them.Narratives that Change Minds provides a framework for analysis and case studies of leadership successes and failures relative to communicating risk, crisis, and organizational change within technical contexts. A unique feature of this book is its consideration of neuroscience elements that affect how audiences respond to messages, including narratives. The goal is to help managers and executives understand how to incorporate narratives to improve the likelihood of facilitating needed change.Drawing on scholarship about how the brain processes information from different stimuli and experiences, we will explore the whys and hows of effects multiple forms of communication that integrate narratives have on individuals. A practical model is included to provide guidance to executives in effectively applying principles drawn from leadership resources. This unique approach makes the book an excellent addition to reading lists of leadership development and communication programs.Executives and those in such development programs will benefit from this book, especially with its focus on crisis and change communication. Whether they have technical background in their field or come from a managerial background, readers will come to understand how they can help audiences accept the need for change related to risk, crisis, or organizational/policy issues and act on that change.

Fortune's Formula
An updated edition of the classic book that introduced the world to the controversial money-making formula known as the Kelly system. In 1956, two Bell Labs scientists discovered the scientific formula for getting rich. One was the mathematician Claude Shannon, neurotic father of our digital age, whose genius is ranked with Einstein's. The other was John L. Kelly Jr., a Texas-born, gun-toting physicist. Together they applied the science of information theory--the basis of computers and the internet--to the problem of making as much money as possible, as fast as possible. Shannon and the MIT mathematician Edward O. Thorp took the "Kelly formula" to Las Vegas. It worked. They realized that there was even more money to be made in the stock market. Thorp used the Kelly system with his phenomenally successful hedge fund, Princeton-Newport Partners. Shannon became a successful investor, too, topping even Warren Buffett's rate of return. Fortune's Formula traces how the Kelly formula sparked controversy even as it made fortunes at racetracks, casinos, and trading desks. It reveals the dark side of this alluring scheme, which is founded on exploiting an insider's edge. Featuring a new preface and sixty pages of new material, this 20th anniversary edition of William Poundstone's classic book is the definitive account of the betting system that forever changed our understanding of risk-taking.
