“The leader of any organization knows that making the right call in a high-stakes situation is never easy. However, if you are aware of the complexities of the circumstances and you take the time to question your reasoning, more often than not you’ll make a better decision than the guys in the other clubhouse. Mauboussin's THINK TWICE helps you to gain that mental edge. That's what I expect from my team, and that's why I hope my competitors don’t read this book.”
