12 Mental Skills to Defeat Cognitive Biases

Last updated on: April 9, 2020 at 4:24 pm By Gleb Tsipursky

Falling for the dangerous judgment errors called cognitive biases often costs you an arm and a leg. Yet such serious mistakes happen all the time in business!

Last updated on: April 2, 2020 at 4:23 pm By Gleb Tsipursky

Your relationships will be undermined or even destroyed by the coronavirus pandemic, unless you take proactive steps right now to save them. Don’t believe me? Consider the facts. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has led to extensive measures for social distancing, figuratively and literally. We’re asked to keep at 6 to 10 feet apart from other people, and not have any gatherings over 50 people.

Last updated on: March 26, 2020 at 10:36 pm By Gleb Tsipursky

Stakeholder engagement is one of the more critical aspects of leadership. Stakeholders can be anyone from your front line employees to suppliers to business partners, and your organization’s relationship with them is dynamic and can change over time.

Last updated on: April 7, 2020 at 9:05 am By Gleb Tsipursky

According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the COVID-19 coronavirus will definitely develop into a widespread pandemic: it’s more a question of when, not if, it will happen.

Care about your bottom line? Then you should preferably hire women rather than men. This is true regardless of whether you factor in diversity considerations.

Last updated on: January 29, 2020 at 4:51 pm By Gleb Tsipursky

Did you know that the typical five-year strategic planning forecasts perform about as well as dart-throwing chimpanzees? Cognitive science and behavioral economics scholars have conducted research on people who are the most skilled forecasters among us. Apparently, they perform no better than chance on economic predictions more than three to five years out.

Last updated on: January 15, 2020 at 3:13 pm By Gleb Tsipursky

When’s the last time you heard a colleague say something so ridiculous that it made your jaw drop? Such denial of reality happens surprising often. Perhaps it’s something political — like, George Bush is behind 9/11. Maybe they express science denial, insisting that the Earth is flat.
