A helpful hand in changing my perception of decision making. Not only did it change my perception of decision making it showed me how to change from my unsound methods that had become second nature.

It guides the reader with clear understandable text through the learning process of finding out how we as a society (and how I as an individual) make significant errors in the use of commonly used decision making processes. He then clearly shows how to correct my thought processes to more regularly make sound decisions with sound processes.

If you are a business leader, or a political leader, or a community leader, or want to be, I encourage you to read this book. It has helped me and if making sound decisions is important to you, this book is the only one I have found that helped me. All the other books were either unclear, simplistic, unexplained, or as I found out: unsound. I wonder how many decision making errors I've made without knowing it.

Adoption Detective: Memoir of an Adopted Child

Judith and Martin Land, co-authors of Adoption Detective, used the CBA method of decision making as a rational technique for weighing alternatives, estimating collateral effects, and making important choices to accomplish their goals. References: Page 279

A somewhat difficult, but powerful read. Choosing By Advantages (CBA) is a structured decisionmaking process that starts when a decision must be made, and ends when the decision is implemented and the results evaluated. CBA can "Lean out" the entire decisionmaking process when there is more than one option.
