Decisive: How To Make Better Choices In Life and Work  

 

Much has been written, over the past few years, about the problems that plague our decision-making: the irrationality and the biases we are prone to. But we will ask a different question: Given that we may be wired to act foolishly sometimes, how can we do better? How can we overcome those biases in hopes of making better and more confident decisions as strategic leaders of our organizations? In this session, Dan Heath, New York Times bestselling co-author of Made to Stick and Switch, will reveal a simple four-step process for making smarter choices as leaders in our organizations. You will learn:

  • The four major villains of decision-making – and how to counteract them
  • A simple question that can transform a contentious meeting into a productive one
  • Three strategies for uncovering new, unconsidered options to add to our set of choices
  • A technique for anticipating—and correcting—the worst risks of a decision

The tools provided in this session can help any organizational leader make quicker, wiser, and more confident decisions.
