Our decision-making skills are groomed over time mainly on our our desires and aspirations apart from our childhood, circle of influence, level of exposure, what we read and, the tough situations we face. So, say at the age of 50, when our life scripts govern the way we behave and respond to situations, can we improve our decision-making capability especially when it involves others? The answer lies in understanding how we make our decisions, how we can improve, how others make their decision and lastly how we can help them improve. With 60% of the models geared towards looking internally at personal development and decision making, and the other 40% on how you work with others, it's really a book about YOU. In the title, the association with decision making and strategic thinking is the real essence of the book. Don't think about this book in terms of business models such as Ansoff Matrix, or PEST, or Porters 5 Forces etc. The change book has been authored to guide you as a reader. Whether you were a teacher, a professor, or a top manager. Roman Tschäppeler is a creative producer based in Biel, Switzerland.

Time management is the first most important quality that helps differentiate an individual from the crowd. The authors refer to the former US president Dwight Eisenhower as a brilliant manager of time using a simple yet effective technique. The authors also touched upon the investment icon, Warren Buffett’s simple way of task management. This involved listing down and ranking the tasks to be completed each day and then working on the #1 task until it is completed with a clear instruction not to proceed to the #2 task until the first one is completed. You can read this book in the American or European way. Americans tend towards a trial-and-error approach: they do something, fail, learn from this, acquire theories and try again. If this approach suits you, start at the beginning with 'How to improve yourself.' Europeans tend to begin by acquiring theories, then doing something. If they then fail, they analyse, improve and repeat the attempt. If this is more your style, begin with 'How to understand yourself better.'

Delegating: employees are fully in control of their work with a high level of motivation and lead their own team. Adam Sisman`s definitive biography, published in 2015, revealed much about the elusive spy-turned-novelist; yet le Carré was adamant that some subjects should remain hidden, at least during his lifetime. #TheSecretLifeOfJohnLeCarré is the story of what was left out, and offers reflections on the difficult relationship between biographer and subject. More than that, it adds a necessary coda to the life and work of this complex, driven, restless man.

Models are a great way of visualising ideas, organising, planning, and conveying thoughts and strategies to others. The models presented in this book are as good as the effort you are prepared to put in. Remember planning is everything the plan is nothing. If the development of knowledge is the continuous application of learning you will get an opportunity to use, and therefore become more knowledgeable with some of these models more than others. Opening in 1963 New York, to Renaissance Florence, to the birth of theatre in fifth-century Athens, and the Sex Pistols shattering Thatcherite Britain - take your seat for the history of performance.

Es un volumen que puede no ser del gusto de muchos. Con algunas me he quedado muy sorprendido. Hay esquemas para definir tu personalidad en base a cómo vistes o a quién votas; y la verdad es que aunque podrían ser discutibles, a mí me han gustado. Esto demuestra que es un libro muy heterogéneo y a veces confuso, no es todo decisiones sino saber entenderse a uno mismo.
