Recommendation

Everyone makes mistakes, and you will, too, but that doesn’t mean you can’t improve your decision-making skills. In this engaging text, management consultant Marce Fernández explains how to follow “clues” which point to smart choices and avoid falling prey to your biases. Some decisions, like what to order for lunch, are not important; but big decisions that go wrong can hurt or kill your career or your company. Think of the record executive at Decca Records who passed on signing The Beatles in 1962 or the Excite.com decision makers who decided not to buy Google for $750,000.You can do better – learn how.

Take-Aways

  • Extensive research explores general decision-making, but not managerial decisions.
  • Cognitive biases exacerbate faulty decision making.
  • Decisions are choices, not bets.
