Join us for lunch and a discussion on Michael J. Mauboussin's The Success Equation: Untangling Skill and Luck in Business, Sports, and Investing.
Summary: What role, exactly, do skill and luck play in our successes and failures? Some games, like roulette and the lottery, are pure luck. Others, like chess, exist at the other end of the spectrum, relying almost wholly on players’ skill.
But in every other domain—from business, to investing, to sports—skill and luck seem almost hopelessly entangled.
In his provocative book, Michael Mauboussin untangles the intricate strands of skill and luck, defines them, and provides useful frameworks for analyzing their relative contributions. He offers concrete suggestions for how to put these insights to work to your advantage in business and other dimensions of life.
