Recommendation

Everyone has a distinct attitude toward risk. Most people don’t have an objective attitude; instead, they must work through a jumble of desires, fears and biases. People’s capacity for assessing risk also can be capricious, leading to missed opportunities, mistakes and neglect of important issues. Michele Wucker’s wide-ranging, heavily researched overview shows how people, firms and nations develop their views of risk. She teaches that understanding your own and other people’s risk attitudes can improve your decision-making, facilitate teamwork and enhance creativity.

Take-Aways

  • Your attitude toward risk is an important part of your psychological makeup.
  • Every individual has a distinct “risk fingerprint.”
  • Your risk fingerprint provides insights into other areas of your personality.
