SUMMARY:The Algebra of Wealth: Achieving Economic Security
DESCRIPTION:Today’s workers have more opportunities and mobility than any generation before. They also face unprecedented challenges\, including inflation\, labor and housing shortages\, and climate volatility. Even the notion of retirement is undergoing a profound rethink\, as our life spans extend and our relationship with work evolves. In this environment\, the tried-and-true financial advice our parents followed no longer applies. It’s time for a new playbook. \nIn The Algebra of Wealth: A Simple Formula for Financial Security\, Scott Galloway\, professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business and a serial entrepreneur\, lays bare the rules of financial success in today’s economy. In his characteristic unvarnished\, no-BS style\, he explains what you need to know to better your chances for economic security no matter what. \nGalloway has founded nine companies\, including Prophet\, RedEnvelope\, L2\, and Section\, where he also teaches. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Four\, The Algebra of Happiness\, Post Corona\, and Adrift: America in 100 Charts. He has served on the boards of directors of The New York Times Company\, Urban Outfitters\, University of California/Berkeley’s Haas School of Business\, Panera Bread\, and Ledger. He has won multiple Webby and Best Podcast awards\, and his books have been translated into 28 languages. Across his Prof G and Pivot podcasts\, No Mercy/No Malice newsletter\, and his YouTube channel\, Galloway reaches millions. \nGalloway will be in conversation with Adam Alter\, Ph.D. (FAN ’17\, ’23)\, Professor of Marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business and the Robert Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow\, with an affiliated appointment in the New York University Psychology Department. Prof. alter is the author of multiple bestsellers\, including Anatomy of a Breakthrough\, Irresistible\, and Drunk Tank Pink. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder
DESCRIPTION:Every organization is plagued by destructive friction. Yet some forms of friction are incredibly useful\, and leaders who attempt to improve workplace efficiency often make things even worse. In The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder\, co-authors Robert I. Sutton\, Ph.D. and Huggy Rao\, Ph.D. draw from seven years of hands-on research to teach us how to become “friction fixers.” \nThe Friction Project unpacks how skilled friction fixers think and act like trustees of others’ time. The authors provide friction forensics to help readers identify where to avert and repair bad organizational friction and where to maintain and inject good friction. Then their “help pyramid” shows how friction fixers do their work\, from reframing friction troubles they can’t fix right now\, so they feel less threatening\, to designing and repairing organizations. The heart of the book digs into the causes and solutions for five of the most common and damaging friction troubles: oblivious leaders\, addition sickness\, broken connections\, jargon monoxide\, and fast and frenzied people and teams. \nProf. Sutton is an organizational psychologist and Stanford professor (emeritus) who studies\, writes\, teaches\, and speaks about the interplay between people and organizations. He has written more than 200 academic and practical articles and is a New York Times bestselling author of eight books. He is a co-founder of the Stanford d. School\, Stanford Technology Ventures Program\, and Center for Work\, Technology and Organization. \nProf. Sutton will be in conversation with Liz Gerber\, Ph.D. (FAN ’13\, ’16)\, a professor of mechanical engineering at Northwestern University\, co-director of Northwestern’s Center for Human Computer Interaction + Design\, and faculty founder of Design for America. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
