Making good decisions

View this video here


The phrase "work smarter, not harder" has been repeatedly ridiculed in Dilbert and all elsewhere, not because it is a poor idea, but because it is thrown like a brick lifesaver to drowning employees. It's like telling someone to be happier, healthier, and richer. What people need is a plan for doing so.

In "Making Great Decisions" the authors show readers how to achieve their objectives. They offer a better way to look at problems so that solutions are easier to find.

Speaker: David R. Henderson, Ph.D. David R. Henderson is an economics professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey and a research fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford. He was a senior economist with President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers.

Speaker: Charles L. Hooper Charles L. Hooper is President and co-founder of Objective Insights, Inc., a consulting firm dedicated to providing health care companies with marketing and financial analysis to help them make informed decisions about their business opportunities.

The authors speak in tandem (which may not be the best way of doing this) and it does drag a little bit at times, but the gist of it is very useful.
