Principles: Life and Work

#1 New York Times Bestseller “Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals.In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success. In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their st... [Read More]

Inventory Management: DOD Can Build on Progress in Using Best Practices to Achieve Substantial Savings

Inventory Management: DOD Can Build on Progress in Using Best Practices to Achieve Substantial Savings

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) efforts to adopt best inventory management practices, focusing on: (1) whether DOD has adopted the specific practices recommended for consumable items; (2) the savings and benefits being achieved through the use of these practices; and (3) DOD overall progress in improving consumable item management.GAO found that: (1) the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has taken steps to improve its logistics practices and reduce consumable inventories, although it could make further improvements with items such as bolts, valves, and fuses that cost millions of dollars to manage and store; (2) DLA inventories are expected to decrease only 20 percent by 1997, but these inventories could last over two years; (3) DLA has not tested the most innovative commercial practices of using supplier parks and other techniques that give established distribution networks the responsibility to manage, store, and distribute inventory on a frequent basis directly to end users; (4) DLA use of best inventory practices is exemplified for personnel items where prime vendors are used to supply personnel items directly to military facilities; (5) DLA expects to reduce the 1992 personnel item inventory by 53 percent in 1997; and (6) DOD hospitals still hold larger inventories than those civilian hospitals that have reduced inventories through effective partnering arrangements with prime vendors.

CELEBRATION HERBALS Uva Ursi Tea Organic 24 Bag, 0.02 Pound

About Uva Ursi...Since the 13th century, Uva Ursi has been commonly used throughout Europe, but was not officially recognized as a valuable herb until 1788. Later, it was introduced to North America by the early settlers, where Native Americans would know Uva Ursi as "kinnikinnick." They considered it to be a nutritious food and ate the berries raw, juiced or ground. Today, it is common practice to use Uva Ursi leaves in tinctures or teas because they are considered the most medicinally potent part of the plant. Try this distinctive tea today. It all starts with the herbs. Celebration Herbals is dedicated to bringing you the best tasting teas, grown and processed as close to "the way nature intended" as possible and never irradiated.
