Happy New Year!

We are unlocking 10 feature articles that we were proud to publish in 2024—my Editor’s Picks for 2024.

(Free access links to our reader picks—the 10 most-read feature articles of 2024—are also available here.)

Highlighted in the accompanying slideshow, with free access links to the articles pasted below, the Editor’s Picks collection offers deep dives into topics that include the negative perception of car insurers, an insurance policy with premiums funded by litigation financers, a how-to guide for creating motivating performance reviews, and a look at the role of middle managers in property/casualty insurance.

Like most of our member-only content, these features offer perspectives readers can find only in Carrier Management.

For good measure, there’s one last article to add to the list—my least favorite article of the year. I wrote this one, “The End. And the Beginning,” to open our fourth-quarter print magazine and announcing that it would be our last edition available in glossy print. We have a good run in print though (11 years) and we are committed to making carriermanagement.com an even more attractive destination for insurance carrier leaders—and leaders in the making in 2025.
