HBR's 10 Must Reads on Managing Risk (with bonus article "Managing 21st-Century Political Risk" by Condoleezza Rice and Amy Zegart) Reviews

5.0
“This compilation of HBR articles is great during a time of crisis like we are encountering right now with covid-19. I had read a few of these articles before during my MBA, but enjoyed seeing what else I can take form them and apply to the workplace. These reads were very informative on how to mitigate different types of risks within the workplace. All employees, not just executives can benefit from this packet. The one article that did not see to fit with the rest of the packet regards specific climate change risk.”
