Von der hinteren Coverseite

The ability to make effective decisions is key to a leader’s performance and success. Mastering this ability is no easy feat. Leaders make most decisions in dynamic situations, when relevant information is missing, time is scarce, uncertainty is pervasive, and the environment is constantly changing.

This book is about making great decisions in such situations – what we call super-decisions. There is no general rule or mathematical formula for making such decisions exactly or perfectly. However, understanding some simple but fundamental principles of the neuroscience and psychology of decision-making can significantly enhance a leader’s performance and success.

In Super Deciders, a team of renowned scientists and business strategists distills relevant research to deliver a practical and insightful model that leaders can use not only to navigate complex decision-making scenarios, but also to work on themselves and to become “Super Deciders”. Some individuals may be better than others at making decisions, but everyone can become better at it.

The authors explain their model and the relevant research in an accessible and easy-to-follow way using the story of a fictional leader of a company. With this book, you’ll learn to make better decisions in a variety of situations, spanning from crafting sustainable corporate strategies to tackling people-related decisions, to making work-life balance decisions, to orchestrating a company transformation.

Perfect for managers, executives, directors, and other business leaders, Super Deciders is a must-read guide for decision-makers across the board.
