  And Then the Roof Caved In will lay bare the truth of the credit crisis, whose defining emotion at every turn has been greed, and whose defining failure is the complicity of the U.S. government in letting that greed rule the day.   It will lay that truth out in painstaking detail with compelling characters who offer their first-hand accounts of what they did and why they did it. Faber explains the events of the previous seven years that created the crisis of confidence that culminated on September 18th.  He begins in 2001, when the Federal Reserve embarked on an unprecedented effort to help the economy recover from the attacks of 9/11 by sending interest rates to all time lows. One result was the start of a housing bubble, the likes of which our nation had never witnessed. Readers will hear from the man behind that bubble, Dr. Alan Greenspan, who vigorously defended his decisions during this period, as well as the men and women who used sub-prime mortgages to buy their homes and now find themselves in the depths of despair. Faber also gives readers a deep, inside look at Wall Street, where the crisis was incubated and unleashed on the world. Bankers who led that effort admit to their only true motivation and share their secrets. Faber introduces readers to insiders from the ratings agencies, who take their former employers to task for abandoning any promise of integrity in their much valued credit ratings; regulators, who tried to stop this problem before it swung out of control; and the hedge fund managers who correctly foresaw the coming housing crash and profited from it.

  Companies are investing an unprecedented amount of money to keep their data and assets safe, yet cyberattacks are on the rise—and the problem is worsening. No amount of technology, resources, or policies will reverse this trend. Only sound governance, originating with the board, can turn the tide. 
   
   
   
  Protection against cyberattacks can't be treated as a problem solely belonging to an IT or cybersecurity department. It needs to cast a wide and impenetrable net that covers everything an organization does—from its business operations, models, and strategies to its products and intellectual property. And boards are in the best position to oversee the needed changes to strategy and hold their companies accountable. Not surprisingly, many boards aren't prepared to assume this responsibility. 
   
   
   
  In A Leader's Guide to Cybersecurity, Thomas Parenty and Jack Domet, who've spent over three decades in the field, present a timely, clear-eyed, and actionable framework that will empower senior executives and board members to become stewards of their companies' cybersecurity activities. Filled with tools, best practices, and strategies, A Leader's Guide to Cybersecurity will help boards navigate this seemingly daunting but extremely necessary transition.

  Are Your Critical Leadership Errors Undermining Your Team and Organization? 
  After working with more than 300 teams as a Principal Consultant for The Table Group, Mike McHargue recognized an emerging pattern. It became clear that, as many of those well-intentioned leaders made their way from managers to executives, they made significant leadership mistakes.  
  For his work Rookie Mistakes: Advice from Top Executives on Five Critical Leadership Errors, McHargue interviewed hundreds of executives, 25 of whom were vulnerable enough to share their wisdom about errors that must be avoided both by the rookie leader and the seasoned executive. 
  Rookie Mistakes focuses on the most damaging of those errors to leaders and teams. McHargue learned from his research that those errors fell into five clear categories: 
  •Allowing confusion 
  •Failing to connect with their team 
  •Running truly awful meetings 
  •Hiring too fast and firing too slow 
  •Failing to give and receive feedback 
  This book offers practical advice to help you become the leader you always imagined you would be.
