Publisher's Synopsis
In 2007 with the credit crisis well under way the RBS board, after meeting 18 times, went ahead with the £47bn takeover of ABN Amro, which wrecked on of the World's biggest banks. Other large, established companies have taken similar disastrous decisions: Lloyds Bank, Lehman Brothers, Daimler-Benz, Samsung, Wang, Quaker. So why do successful professionals and business people make such poor decisions?
This book not only explains why, but how we can avoid it in our own professional and business lives. It shows readers how they can make better strategic decisions by developing their conceptual, creative and critical thinking skills that are rarely, if ever, taught in formal education. You will learn how to use these skills to tackle the most difficult of all the decisions we have to make, those involving complex moral problems. You will also learn to incorporate these skills within your normal professional lives.
