Knock-for-Knock Indemnities and the Law: Contractual Limitation and Delictual Liability (Contemporary Commercial Law)
by Greg Gordon Kristoffer Svendsen Endre StavangThis book examines contractual limitation, principles and practice through the use of knock-for-knock indemnity clauses. In using such clauses, the parties agree that for certain forms of potential liability – typically property damage, personal injury to employees, and sometimes other heads of claim such as consequential loss – any loss arising will be absorbed by the party who suffers it: "you look after your losses, I’ll look after mine." It is an apparently simple, pragmatic and neat solution to the question of who bears liability: a risk allocation model so straightforward that it was described by one experienced English judge, Honorable Mr. Justice Morison, as "crude". A specialist contributor team of international experts, examine the origin, application and effect of these clauses in important jurisdictions, their impact in different industries such as oil & gas, shipping, construction and insurance, through the lenses of both economic and legal analyses. The book is of use for lawyers, economists and businesspeople who draft, negotiates or manage contracts in all industries where liability is dealt with in this way. It is also of interest to students, academics, and policy makers.

What do we want to be known for?In Know What You're FOR, entrepreneur and thought leader Jeff Henderson makes it clear that if we want to change the world with our products or our mission, then we must shift the focus of our messaging and marketing. Rather than self-promoting, we must transform our organizations to be people-centric.

Know Your Tuning: How Do Your Default Responses to Environmental Factors Affect Your Ability to Lead Adaptive Change?
by Alexander Grashow Marty Linsky Ronald HeifetzEach person is like a stringed instrument, tuned in a slightly different way from everyone else. Your tuning derives from many different things: your childhood experiences, genetic predispositions, cultural background, gender, and loyal identifications with various current and historic groups. Those strings vibrate continuously, communicating to those around you who you are, what is important to you, where your sensitivities lie, and how you might be vulnerable. Knowing how the environment is pulling your strings and playing you is critical to making responsive rather than reactive moves. This chapter will help you evaluate how your strings are tuned to respond to the challenges and opportunities of adaptive change. This chapter was originally published as chapter 15 of "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership: Tools and Tactics for Changing Your Organization and the World."
Know Your Value: Women, Money, and Getting What You're Worth (Revised Edition)
by Mika BrzezinskiThe bestselling motivational guide that TheAtlantic.com calls "a rallying cry for women to get the money they deserve." Why are women so often overlooked and underpaid? What are the real reasons men get raises more often than women? How can women ask for--and actually get--the money, the job, the recognition they deserve? Prompted by her own experience as cohost of Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski asked a wide range of successful women to share the critical lessons they learned while moving up in their fields. Power players such as Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Harvard's Victoria Budson, comedian Susie Essman, and many more shared their surprising personal stories. They spoke candidly about why women are paid less and the pitfalls women face--and play into. Now expanded to address gender dynamics in the #MeToo era, Know Your Value blends compelling personal stories with the latest research on why many women don't negotiate their compensation, why negotiating aggressively usually backfires, and what can be done about it.For any woman who has ever wondered if her desire to be liked can be a liability (yes), if there is a way to reclaim her contribution after it's been co-opted in a meeting (yes), and if there are strategies men use to get ahead that women should too (yes!), Know Your Value provides vital advice to help women be their own best advocates.

Know and Grow the Value of Your Business: An Owner's Guide to Retiring Rich
by Tim McdanielA woman looking to retire said to author and valuation expert Tim McDaniel, "I need to sell my business for $2.5 million to support my country club lifestyle." The reality was that her business was worth $750,000. How could she have been so wrong? As McDaniel-a veteran of over 2,000 valuation engagements and dozens of M&A deals-knows all too well, most owners work in their businesses and not on their businesses. He has seen the look of surprise on client faces far too often: "It's only worth that much?!" In the rush of day-to-day work and decisions, business owners sometimes forget that their business is an investment-and something they need to watch, nurture, and care for just as they would a valuable antique vase or painting. Know and Grow the Value of Your Business: An Owner's Guide to Retiring Rich shows readers how to develop the "investment mindset," value the business, bolster that value and maximize the return on their investment, and, finally, exit the business either through a sale to outside parties or by passing it on to family or other business insiders. This information couldn't be more important: Typically, 60-80% of a business owner's wealth is tied up in the value of the business. This is their most important asset, but they usually guess at its value and have no concrete plan to increase it. That's why this book shows: The importance of treating your ownership interest in a business as something deserving near-daily attention. How a company is valued, and how others outside the business view that value. Steps you can take immediately to increase the value of your business. The different kinds of potential buyers and what attracts them. How to remove yourself from the day-to-day work of the business to plan for a brighter future. How to exit the business on your terms. In short, this book helps business owners get the most for their business when they decide it's time to move on.
