The Success Equation:
Sorting Skill and Luck in Business, Sports, and Investing
Michael Mauboussin
SFI Trustee; Chief Investment Strategist, Legg Mason Capital Management; and author of many financial books including his most recently released The Success Equation: Untangling Skill and Luck in Business, Sports, and Investing
We all know that results are the combination of skill and luck, but we're very poor at understanding the relative contributions of each. In this talk, Mauboussin asks why untangling skill and luck is so important, provides some analytical tools to separate them, and discusses why we struggle so much to understand the role of luck. He also provides some thoughts on how to improve skill and manage luck. You won't think the same about skill and luck after hearing this talk with its fun stories and counterintuitive conclusions.
