Inhaltsangabe

This is a book about avoiding mistakes when making basic business decisions—the kind of mistakes that can result in catastrophic expenses, lawsuits, losses, and bankruptcies. As a veteran private investigator and business consultant, Christopher Eiben has witnessed firsthand how frequently these avoidable mistakes can wreak financial and personal havoc on businesspeople. Through in-depth analysis of authentic case studies, and insight born of his years of experience in the field, Eiben explains how certain prescriptive measures—more careful hiring practices, improved security, effective and thorough due diligence, and others—can limit risks and improve the odds of business success. In the current business climate, with the ever-increasing strategies available to the unscrupulous, the devious, and the outright criminal, this kind of “paranoia” isn’t just a necessary tool—it’s a virtue.

Críticas

"Getting it right demands knowing what can go wrong. Christopher Eiben's It Pays to be Paranoid provides the wisdom and guidance to avoid the risks of today's litigious society. For your own safety, sleep with it tucked beneath your pillow." Albert J. Weatherhead III, Founder, Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University "Stay out of court! Managers could avoid many a costly legal mess by watching their step beforehand. Christopher Eiben's clear case histories, based on hard-won experience, raise the right sorts of questions -- and they're a lot less painful than paying lawyers after the fact." Walter K. Olson, author of "The Litigation Explosion" "As basic human values diminish in business and society, the honest and unsuspecting are increasingly at risk. Christopher Eiben convincingly illustrates why a little paranoia is actually a healthy state of being." Peter Georgescu, Chairman Emeritus, Young & Rubicam "I wish I'd had the benefit of It Pays to be Paranoid earlier in my business career. It could have saved me some heartache. Christopher Eiben has hit the right balance between being cautious and thorough on the one hand without being cynical or hard-hearted on the other." John D. Beckett, author of "Loving Monday" "Read this book! It is the best insurance money you'll ever spend." Daniel S. Janal, author of "Risky Business"
