Over half of decisions do not produce the expected outcome, according to a recent study. The author shows that although blame is often placed on external factors, poor decision-making practices are often the real reason. He analyzes the key factors that cause poor decisions, e.g. making premature commitments, failing to consider the interests of all stakeholders, etc. His abundantly illustrated look at striking examples invites to challenge many accepted habits.
