BOOKS: LESSONS FROM THE PIT

Successful Veteran of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Shows Executives How to Thrive in a Competitive Environment

A successful trader from the Eurodollar Options pit of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange shares stories and insights from his ten-year trading career. His journey to success on the trading floor came as a surprise in light of being underfunded and under-prepared for this hyper-competitive place that chewed up and spit out newcomers without regard. Yet success brought struggles of its own, including trying to hold on to his personal values and core identity. At the heart of his reflections, Leininger addresses the central question of how a person of faith can engage with integrity in a work environment that was blatantly hostile to that faith.
