But in asset management, to become an A-quality firm you have to ban &#8216;best practices&#8217; from your lexicon, think more in terms of innovation and challenging conventional wisdom by establishing practices that have never been done before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fisher is also the author of three New York Times best-sellers, including his current best-seller &#8220;How to Smell a Rat: The Five Signs of Financial Fraud&#8221; (Wiley, August 2009).
