Why you should read Decision Making
Businesspeople make decisions daily, but few companies implement the kind of quality decision-making process that produces solid results. That’s unfortunate since bad decisions are costly. Over the long term, the basis for any organization’s success is its leaders’ ability to make the right decisions consistently. To reach that goal, apply the practical advice from this Harvard Business Essentials guide. getAbstract finds that this book is full of straightforward ideas to enhance team cohesiveness, build consensus, calibrate uncertainties and refine proposals, while including the right players in the process. Getting people to make well-reasoned decisions together remains a major business challenge. This little book can help.
