Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a Lebanese-American essayist, scholar, statistician, and former trader and risk analyst whose work focuses on problems of randomness, probability, and uncertainty. He is the author of several books, including "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable," which was published in 2007 and became a bestseller.
Taleb is a former trader and risk analyst and has worked as a professor of risk engineering at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering. He has a background in mathematics, statistics, and computer science and has published numerous papers in academic journals on topics related to randomness and uncertainty.
Taleb's main area of research is the study of "black swans," which he defines as rare events that have a large impact and are typically not predictable. He argues that traditional risk assessment methods, such as using historical data to predict future events, are inadequate because they fail to consider the possibility of black swan events.
Taleb is also known for his criticism of the concept of "normalcy" in statistics and his skepticism of the use of mathematical models in finance and economics. He has argued that the assumptions made in these models are often unrealistic and can lead to dangerous oversimplifications.
In addition to his work in academia, Taleb is also a public intellectual and has written several books for a general audience. His books have been widely discussed and debated in the media and have been translated into multiple languages.
Taleb is a strong advocate for antifragility, a concept he has developed and popularized in his books. Antifragility is the property of a system or entity that improves when subjected to volatility, shocks, stressors, or disorder and doesn't just remain indifferent to them.
Taleb's writing style is often characterized as provocative and contrarian, and he is known for his strong opinions on a wide range of topics. His work has been influential in the fields of economics, finance, and risk management and has also been discussed in the broader cultural and intellectual conversation.

Chet Richards was a close associate of the late US Air Force Colonel John R. Boyd from the mid-1970s until Boyd s death in 1997. Boyd had asked him to review the mathematical portions of his first civilian paper, Destruction, and Creation, and this led to a collaboration that eventually included applications to the business world.
Chet Richards's career began at the Pentagon in 1971 and has included employment with Northrop, the professional services company CACI in Washington, DC, and Lockheed. A consultant since 1999, he has maintained his practice in strategy for business, marketing, and communications through Tarkenton &amp; Addams, Inc., a public relations firm in Atlanta, GA.

His most recent, A Swift, Elusive Sword, addresses how we can re-fashion the US Defense Department to defend ourselves against the types of non-traditional enemies we will likely face in the 21st Century. It was published by the Centers for Defense Information shortly before 9/11, has been translated into Russian, and is now in its second printing.&nbsp;
He has lectured on this subject to commercial organizations in the US and abroad, including the US Army Command and Staff College and the Air War College. He is the only person to have delivered Boyd s Patterns of Conflict since Boyd s death.

Prior to that, he was a reservist on the Air Staff in Washington, where he built computer models of fighter aircraft effectiveness. He was commissioned in 1969 through the Army ROTC program at the University of Mississippi.
Chet and his wife, Ginger, live in Atlanta, where, in addition to their work with Tarkenton &amp; Addams, they build custom websites to support the marketing communications needs of their clients. They also own and operate two sites devoted to John Boyd s strategic legacy, Defense and the National Interest (http://www.d-n-i.net) and Belisarius.com (http://www.belisarius.com.) They have two daughters who, as this is written, are both in graduate school in Georgia and one very overweight cat.

Work is full of situations outside your control. A job interviewer asks a question out of the left field, or a coworker puts you on the spot in front of the boss. Most people react to the unexpected with anxiety and unease.
&nbsp;But some handle it with self-assurance and aplomb. They gain a sense of empowerment and energy when the pressure is on. Like great actors, they're able to think on their feet. The great thing is, improvement isn't about winging it or flying by the seat of your pants; improving at its core is about listening and responding. It's based on rules and techniques, and it taps directly into your soft communication skills.
