We nearly hit freezing again 🙄, so I broke out my cold weather gear again and went out for a nice run and listened to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

Next was "Dead Reckoning" by Diane Vaughan. This is possibly the best workplace ethnography I've ever read. Vaughan starts out with the history of the aviation industry, then dives into the fascinating workplace of aviation controllers. This starts with their brutal screening and training process, followed by a meticulous ethnographic dive into nearly every aspect of this critical, demanding work. Highly recommend

Last was "The Little Book of Valuation" by Aswath Damodaran. Damodaran delivers a rigorous but accessible introduction to standard approaches to corporate valuation and pricing, importantly highlighting some of the limitations of the standard methodology. Highly recommend
