How can a manager become more sensitive to
negative and positive swans? Increasing your sensitivity to upward swans is what I call increasing your envelope of serendipity. In short: try everything and keep the good ones. Be willing to take risks, but make sure you cannot lose more than x percent. Regarding negative swans: Buy insurance. It usually costs nothing. Never buy insurance on the highly probable, because it costs a lot. But insuran- ce against the improbable, however consequential, is improbably cheap. In our field we now are all busy mitigating risk by complying with SOx, in-control statements etc. What do you think about that? Governments have always been very bad at forcing risk control. Regulators force you to follow metrics, I call this the ludic fallacy, the belief in very simple models of reality. Regulation may reduce your expo- sure to a single event, but usually increases your ex- posure to other ones. They make you worry about previous problems, but do not lessen the risk for a new one. Also they force you into metrics, into pro- ducing numerical assessments of risks. Nothing is more dangerous than that. Finally, are you pessimistic or optimistic? My idea is not pessimistic, it is optimistic. Look at Google. Most random variables that affect us are more positive than negative. My problem is not that we are not good at watching the negative – we are not exposed enough to the positive. Download 192.28 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
