Learning lessons of wisdom from 21 extraordinary leaders.
Synopsis
How do the wise decide and lead businesses and organizations to great success is the question Bryn Zeckhauser and
Aaron Sandoski posed to themselves after landing their first jobs as managers. Despite the best training the world could offer—Harvard MBAs and stints at McKinsey & Company, the elite powerhouse consulting firm—they felt unprepared when faced with the pressure to make critical decisions. So they set out on a three-year quest to discover how people with remarkable success and experience in both corporate and public life—“the wise”—went about making crucial, often make-or-break decisions. They share their discoveries in their book
How the Wise Decide: The Lessons of 21 Extraordinary Leaders.
