Cash Flow Cash flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents moving into and out of a business. Positive cash flow indicates that a company's liquid assets are increasing, enabling it to settle debts, reinvest in its business, return money to shareholders, pay expenses and provide a buffer against future financial challenges. Negative cash flow indicates that a company's liquid assets are decreasing. Net cash flow is distinguished from net income, which includes accounts receivable and other items for which payment has not actually been received. Cash flow is used to assess the quality of a company's income, that is, how liquid it is, which can indicate whether the company is positioned to remain solvent.

Help Your Team Face Uncertainty by Acknowledging It

Uncertainty, whether it’s due to a reorganization at your company or political turmoil, is uncomfortable for everyone. If you sense that your employees are concerned about the future, don’t carry on with business as usual — directly acknowledge the issue. Even if your intention is to keep people focused, bottling your emotions and expecting employees to do the same can be dangerous. People may start to feel uncomfortable voicing their feelings or concerns. Some of your team members may look around and wonder how their colleagues are keeping it together while they’re losing sleep. Acknowledge that things seem chaotic and unpredictable at the moment. At the same time, avoid getting stuck in a negative spiral. Openly admit that you understand how people are feeling, but then talk about how everyone can stay productive together.

Which is Best: EV/EBITDA, EV/EBITA, or EV/EBIT? Adherence to Development and Reporting Standards in Family Law Litigation

When applied correctly, the Market Approach can link value to market evidence and help support a thorough and well-reasoned valuation.  However, valuation analysts often struggle with a variety of challenges when applying the Market Approach that include locating and selecting good comparable companies, selecting or calculating various valuation multiples from reported data, and weighting or selecting indications of value derived from various applied multiples.  Recently published research from Doron Nissim at the Columbia Business School at Columbia University NY may shed some light on the best measure of operating performance in the context of equity valuation and, thus, which measures may deserve more weight or consideration in deriving value.  All three enterprise value multiples (EBITDA, EBITA, and EBIT) perform reasonably well in explaining market valuations.  The superiority of EBITDA, however, in explaining equity valuations means this multiple should be given material consideration in any valuation using a relative valuation approach.

Exchange-Traded Fund - ETF An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a marketable security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, or a basket of assets like an index fund. Unlike mutual funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold. ETFs typically have higher daily liquidity and lower fees than mutual fund shares, making them an attractive alternative for individual investors.

Be More Loyal to Your Mentee Than You Are to the Company

All too often, mentoring can become just another task on your to-do list. But mentoring requires developing a genuine rapport. Studies show that even the best-designed mentoring programs are no substitute for an authentic, collegial relationship between mentor and mentee. You need a baseline chemistry with your mentee, and you must have their best interests at heart — even if those interests aren’t the same as the company’s. Of course, it would be great if your mentee wanted to sustain a long career at your organization, but it’s more important to help them discover their strengths and passions and the best place to apply both. When counseling your mentee on career decisions, encourage them to find their calling whether it’s at your company or somewhere else. In fact, this is the best way to inspire commitment.

Before Having a Difficult Conversation, Identify Your Primary Goal

When you’re ready to address a tricky situation with a colleague, you may be tempted to dive right into the conversation. But before you do, make sure you know what you hope to achieve. What is your goal? Do you want to complete the project more quickly? Deliver the best results? Does your relationship with this person matter more than the outcome of the work? You may want to prioritize all of these things, but think about your primary goal and look for overlap with your counterpart’s objective. If you two have a shared goal, you’ll be better positioned to work through your conflict together. Also ask yourself: Does what I want make sense? Is it realistic? If not, set your sights a little lower. Focus on a small, manageable goal, such as agreeing on which of you will own the redesign project, or creating a six-week plan for how your team will collaborate.

To Reach a Big Goal, Practice on Smaller Projects First

Taking on a big personal project — writing a book, for example — can be daunting, especially if it’s something you’ve never done before. Instead of tackling it right away, it’s best to work your way up through smaller, more manageable projects that involve the same types of tasks as the larger project. For example, rather than writing a book manuscript, try writing a few short articles. Doing so will provide you with opportunities to hone your writing skills, get feedback, and learn how the publishing process works. These articles will essentially serve as a microcosm of the larger process, allowing you to refine your abilities when the stakes are lower. And you’ll equip yourself with the skills and mental prowess needed to tackle the more significant goal.
