Time is critical . . . the facts are unclear . . . your business, people's careers, even lives may hang in the balance--and you have to make a decision!
Do you downsize in critical financial times? Should you take your business public or should you hold off? Do you report the unethical behavior of your boss? When it comes to tricky situations like these, flipping a coin just won't cut it.
The Art of High-Stakes Decision-Making takes the guesswork out of difficult choices with a proven, reliable process for analyzing complex, high-risk decisions. The SCRIPTS method features a set of easy-to-remember steps to structure your decision-making in the face of tough calls.
The power of SCRIPTS is illustrated through dramatic true stories in which real people are pushed to the limits of their decision-making abilities. You'll meet the brewpub owners who only had a few weeks to decide whether to go public; the airline pilot who suddenly realized that he was flying straight into a mountain; and the general who had a chance to end the American Civil War after only one year of fighting.
Through these stories and many others, you'll learn how to search for potential problems and opportunities, identify their causes, and assess risks and rewards. You'll also find out how to use your intuition without letting your emotions short-circuit the process. And you'll discover how biases may color your attitudes toward particular options, find ways to consider divergent perspectives, and learn how to avoid making hasty decisions-- even when time is short. Plus, this eye-opening guide provides a simple, three-step procedure for putting it all together and making your decision.
Whether you face a crucial career question, a risky opportunity, or a difficult negotiation, The Art of High-Stakes Decision-Making helps you consider all of the relevant factors and make decisions that are timely, confident, and, most importantly, right.
