Principles: Life and Work
Autor Ray Dalio Jeremy Bobben Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 18 sep 2017
Considerăm că succesul în afaceri nu este rezultatul norocului, ci al aplicării riguroase a unor algoritmi decizionali. Ray Dalio a început în 1975, într-un apartament cu două camere din New York, și a construit Bridgewater Associates, transformând-o în a cincea cea mai importantă companie privată din SUA. Experiența sa de peste patru decenii în gestionarea celui mai mare fond de hedging din lume este distilată în acest volum sub forma unor principii acționabile, menite să elimine subiectivitatea din procesul de management.
Recomandăm această lectură pentru modul în care tratează organizația și viața ca pe niște mașinării ale căror piese pot fi optimizate. Ca și David A. Bartholomew în The Diamond Principle, autorul distilează experiență reală în principii acționabile, însă Dalio merge mai departe, propunând un model de „meritocrație a ideilor” susținut de transparență radicală. În timp ce alte lucrări se limitează la teorie, aici găsim instrumente pragmatice, cum ar fi utilizarea algoritmilor pentru a pondera credibilitatea opiniilor într-o echipă.
Principles reprezintă nucleul filozofiei sale, fiind o evoluție naturală de la prima sa lucrare, How the Economic Machine Works. Dacă în scrierile anterioare Dalio se concentra pe mecanismele macroeconomice, aici el coboară la nivelul micro al deciziei individuale și organizaționale. Această abordare sistemică este continuată și în lucrările sale ulterioare, precum Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order, unde aplică aceleași rigori analitice istoriei economice globale. Este o resursă esențială pentru oricine dorește să înțeleagă cum structura și disciplina pot înlocui incertitudinea în mediul de business.

Recenzii
—Fortune
“If there was an ‘it’ book for businesses or careers in 2017, it was Ray Dalio’s Principles. The book, weighing in at nearly 600 pages, begins with the author’s own story, including the rise of Bridgewater Associates, Dalio’s highly successful investment firm. Part memoir, part strategic plan, Dalio uses his own history to provide suggestions on attaining success while always stressing the power of individuality and personal goals. This isn’t just a book for the power elite. Dalio’s highly detailed game plan focuses on what he calls ‘radical’ truths and transparencies, and are applicable to the careers of powerful CEOs, ladder-climbing executives, longtime grunts, and fresh-faced rookies.”

Descriere
#1 New York Times Bestseller
“Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times
Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals.
In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success.
In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.
Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press.
