Running Against the Herd

from CFO Bookshelf Hosted by CFO Bookshelf

Running Against the Herd is not only a new book title in the investment genre, but its content is also for any leader, CEO, or manager who makes decisions for a living. While much of the literature in behavioral economics and finance is academic in nature, Eddie uses his background as a long-time chief investment officer to offer practical solutions to addressing the biases that thwart our decisions the most. He does this through stories and examples from his work and adds humor to make key ideas stick. While this is a topic that has not been broached the way the author has done so, anyone outside the investment community will learn much from this hard-to-put-down book.

Christian Nonprofit CFO David Beroth Financial leaders in ministries are often ill-equipped to address, let alone overcome, the many challenges they face.
