An organisational behaviour specialist and author of The Activity Illusion. Formerly a corporate man, he switched careers and was recently awarded a MSc in Occupational Psychology at Birkbeck College. Part of the reason he did this is because he was finding it increasingly hard to find work he could enjoy in corporate life. Everyone he worked with was frantically busy and yet so little was being achieved; this appeared to be the case the more senior the manager. He worked with people who were “too busy” to perform the basic functions of leadership – too busy to have team meetings, too busy to delegate, too busy to give feedback.

House prices will fall around 20% by 2013 – Citywire

House price to earnings ratio Long-run average

Diggle warns the data also shows there is a risk that house prices could fall even more as historically prices have fallen below long-term averages. Also, he adds that his analysis has not taken account of that fact that prices do undershoot long-term averages.
