I really want to reread it! I haven't read it since it came out in November~ if memory serves me.
I loved the idea that small decisions, not big ones, are where the power is. You get married a very limited amount of times, but you choose to react with anger or not every day. That one small moment can have a huge impact. Ensuring you can make clear decisions and avoid all the barriers to good decision making us critical.
I read “ Think Again” from Shane and liked it, I am currently reading “Thinking Fast and Slow” from Daniel Kahnmann though this is a longer form than work by Shane, for those who don’t him, he is a nobel prize winner of economic sciences for his work on decision-making https://a.co/d/0gXIXqG2
'Thinking Fast and Slow' serves as a baseline for many books exploring how we can learn about our 'defaults.' It is also referenced in 'Clear Thinking.'
It stuck in my head, that if I want my team to make good decisions I need to share with them my values. But there were many interesting aspects mentioned in this book.
Sharing values and "the most important thing" is crucial if you plan to delegate decision-making to your team. When your team understands the key factors you consider in making decisions, it becomes much easier for them to decide.
I believe that our perspective alone is not enough to have a complete view of the problem and possible solutions. I borrowed the brains of other people, as often as I could.
In the book there was a chapter on consulting with others, experts and domain consultants — but not on a team level. However, with emphasis that one selected leader/owner needs to be in charge of making the decision, no one else.
Indeed that's the principle is being followed through ancient times as the time keep moving and people evolving. We became more into listening mode and processing it through brain and make the right choice for the fit.
Obsessed with this book! My first big linked in post was notes from the book!
Great to hear it Coltin — I've already read it twice within the last six months.
What are your key takeaways? What resonated with you the most?

As they put in the headline: "Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results".
Thanks for your perspective, Coltin!
Looks like a nice book to read this weekend, thanks for sharing
Did you enjoy it, Javinpaul?
It also flows nicely — I read it during one weekend.

Thanks for your perspective, Darek!
Michael +1 . Also in decision making drilling down teams perspectives play a vital role. It makes a lot of difference.
Thank you Nitish for your perspective!
