Lessons From The Headmaster
»
Wednesday, September 1, 2010
You don’t only find management teachings in the predictable places. The Head of my daughter’s school is a great leader, and she’s already taught me something about management this year. She doesn’t come across as a manager, she comes across as a teacher. But I’m not fooled. Ronni McCaffrey has a thing or two that she could teach about managing a company.

My Changing View on Mortgage Fraud
»
Friday, August 27, 2010
Since the start of the mortgage crisis, I’ve maintained my position that everyone who participated in the market was in some way guilty of bringing it down. Originators made fraudulent loans; investors bought pools they knew were too risky; diligence firms didn’t disclose what they knew; rating agencies didn’t understand the collateral; issuers were willing to securitize anything; and...

The rules have always been poorly defined and there are many complications: how much should be paid out, who gets it, how the different bond classes are affected, and so on.

Allonhillers Take On Writing Challenge
»
Friday, May 7, 2010
A couple of weeks ago, Allonhill invited writing professors Margaret Whitt and Sally Kurtzman to teach a writing seminar for our employees. We hire analysts, whose strength is in numbers and not necessarily in the written word. It’s obvious that I care about writing (you don’t have a blog if you don’t appreciate writing). Much of our work includes communicating to our clients,...
