You need a smarter approach to making the best choice possible. The HBR Guide to Making Better Decisions provides practical tips and advice to help you identify the problem, evaluate your alternatives, select the right path forward, and follow through successfully.

You'll learn to:
  • Look at the problem from different angles
  • Overcome cognitive biases that can skew your choices
  • Use data to inform your thinking
  • Work through uncertainty and analysis paralusis
  • Communicate your choice and spur your team into action
