Summary of Why Decisions Fail (Paul Nutt)
1. The Three Blunders
2. The Seven Traps That Can Catch Decision Makers
3. How to Improve Your Chances of Success When Making Decisions
Book Abstract
Main Idea
To make better decisions and avoid the debacles – those costly wrong decisions which become end up becoming public knowledge – you need to avoid the three blunders (which are present in all debacles) and the seven traps which can lead to bad decisions.
The three blunders are:
Rushing to judgement – before all the requisite information is at hand.
Misusing resources – thereby squandering the opportunity to apply those resources more intelligently.
Consistently applying failure-prone tactics rather than best practice tactics.
These blunders in turn generate seven traps which can collectively or individually underpin bad decisions. The seven traps are:
Seizing the first idea that comes to mind – even if it doesn’t quite fit the circumstances.
Ignoring potential problems and barriers – and plowing ahead in the belief everything can be sorted out at a later stage.
Failing to specify clear-cut objectives – thereby allowing ambiguity to dilute organizational effectiveness.
Being unwilling to look for better ideas and approaches than those already in use.
Being selective in the collection and analysis of information – and only emphasizing the data which supports the decision.
Leaving ethical questions in the background – to be sorted out later rather than sooner.
Ignoring the opportunity to learn from previous mistakes – and making the same mistakes over and over.
It is a quirk of human nature that for some reason, many decision makers consistently apply the tactics which have a poor track record of success. Just the simple act of replacing the widely adopted error-prone tactics with better tactics which avoid these seven traps would
