You’re About to Make a Terrible Mistake!

Capable executives make poor calls with striking regularity, and Olivier Sibony traces the pattern to biases that operate below the level of conscious reasoning. The book sorts those traps into recognisable families, then turns to what actually reduces them, which is rarely individual willpower and usually a change in how a group reaches its decision. Corporate episodes illustrate each trap, and the final section sets out structures a team can adopt, from assigned dissent to systematic comparison of options. Details readers ask about: • Common decision traps grouped and named for easy recognition • Business cases showing how costly errors took shape • Techniques aimed at teams and processes, not only at individuals • Grounding in behavioural science kept clear of heavy technical language Written for managers, founders, analysts and students of decision making, available at Boipoka.
