Effective Decision-Making: How to make better decisions under uncertainty and pressure

The aim of this book is to quickly empower you to make better decisions by giving you step-by-step explanations of the best techniques.

We always make decisions under uncertainty and pressure, especially in business. We need faster and better decisions to cope, but we don’t have the time to learn how to make them well. That is where I come in. I wrote this book to allow you to make better decisions without spending weeks studying theory and practice.

THE INTRODUCTION gives you a snapshot of two decision-making biases, of the worst mistake you can do when making decision, and a lesson taken straight from philosophy.
– Decision Biases (why your brain isn’t always your friend in decisions)
– The Worst Mistake in Decision-Making
– A Lesson From Another Time

THE FIRST CHAPTER looks at frameworks of reference, meaning how you can apply decision-making to achieve your goals, for example how and why some decisions are able to automatically give you a competitive advantage.
