Smartest Guys in the Room The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron

Key takeaways:

- The ‘Smartest' Guys in the room...So ‘smart' they couldn't stay on top of all of their schemes. I'm often intimidated by really smart people because I wouldn't typically use that word to describe myself. This is a good reminder that someone calling themselves smart doesn't mean anything and that it takes more than raw brain power. Pride comes before the fall.
- Don't ignore your risk management team.
