Introduces models that help you with decision-making in both your personal and professional lives。 I found the models more theoretical than practical。

A good summary of popular models that help decision making

A very illustrative book that shows scientific approaches to decision making。

The book can only be used as a reference。 It gives you the model， its brief description and that's it。 No further elaboration and examples。 If you found something interesting that is applicable to you， then you will need another reference to help you better understand the model and how you can use it。 The book can only be used as a reference。 It gives you the model， its brief description and that's it。 No further elaboration and examples。 If you found something interesting that is applicable to you， then you will need another reference to help you better understand the model and how you can use it。 。。。more

Good but shortThis is a good book， but it's way too short on each descriptions。 This needs more concrete example to apply each model in work life。 Good but shortThis is a good book， but it's way too short on each descriptions。 This needs more concrete example to apply each model in work life。 。。。more

This can be looked at as a summary of the models where the author introduces a model with minimal explanation and application。 For those who've studied strategy and thinking frameworks， it'll be a refresher but if you haven't read much on the topic， it can add limited value and I'd recommend a different book。 It was good for me because it went over many of the models I have read in many other books in one place。 This can be looked at as a summary of the models where the author introduces a model with minimal explanation and application。 For those who've studied strategy and thinking frameworks， it'll be a refresher but if you haven't read much on the topic， it can add limited value and I'd recommend a different book。 It was good for me because it went over many of the models I have read in many other books in one place。 。。。more

Great tools for folks looking for strategies to make decisions or boost executive functioning （ex: Eisenhower model）。

Not a good book， even as a basic reference from which to get an intro to decisionmaking models。 The descriptions are short （because it's tiny） but many of them are also really poorly explained and some are completely nonsensical。 Look elsewhere。 Not a good book， even as a basic reference from which to get an intro to decisionmaking models。 The descriptions are short （because it's tiny） but many of them are also really poorly explained and some are completely nonsensical。 Look elsewhere。 。。。more

great book can be read yearly or in 2 years to keep decision models fresh， i am planning to read more from these authors as their writing is concise and precise with no bs

It's an average book。 I liked only 6 of the models that could really help me from the 50 given。 It's an average book。 I liked only 6 of the models that could really help me from the 50 given。 。。。more

I knew many of the decision makings methods mentioned either from my studies or from work。 However， around 20% was new and I am excited to try them out and dig a bit deeper。The last section on drawing made me intellectualize what I have been doing instinctily in most of my conversations， coachings and facilitation sessions。 Find the small summary of the drawing part below。DRAWING LESSONWHY YOU SHOULD DRAW WHILE YoU TALK• Draw while you talk， When they are drawn in real time， event precise or arb I knew many of the decision makings methods mentioned either from my studies or from work。 However， around 20% was new and I am excited to try them out and dig a bit deeper。The last section on drawing made me intellectualize what I have been doing instinctily in most of my conversations， coachings and facilitation sessions。 Find the small summary of the drawing part below。DRAWING LESSONWHY YOU SHOULD DRAW WHILE YoU TALK• Draw while you talk， When they are drawn in real time， event precise or arbitrary elements are understood by the viewer and treated more leniently• Features say more than a thousand words， Draw an iceberg to draw attention to a growing problem， a temple if you want o staters of success， a bridge to show connections ooh out of countries to establish a geographical context， a conveyor belt for procedures and processes， a funnel if you want to consolidate ideas a pyramid for a hierarchyCreate connections: Drawing simple models will help to structure your thoughts in a coherent way and establish con rections on the following pages you will find an overview of models that can be drawn by hand。• Familiar but different。 Everyone understands traffic signs or the play and pause button signs on the remote control。 Even better: surprise your audience by turning traditional symbols les ser abbreviations （eg。 for time into pictograms• Sketches are vital if you draw while you speak you direct attention away from yourself and onto your subject You are no longer standing in front of a jury you are speaking with the y about a separate issue。• Wrong but strong， If you draw a crooked line， don't go back and correct it， because the line of your argument will then be interrupted The same applies if your circles come out looking bake eggs。 These are abstract illustrations not works of art。• Play Pictionary Practice makes perfect。 。。。more

This is a simple collection of existing models that help taking decisions， knowing one self better and others。 It's handy to keep it in the working desk in case you want to refer a model to others since it's figures are easy to understand and it doesn't deep dive in theory but not more than that This is a simple collection of existing models that help taking decisions， knowing one self better and others。 It's handy to keep it in the working desk in case you want to refer a model to others since it's figures are easy to understand and it doesn't deep dive in theory but not more than that 。。。more

The end page where they plotted the models （some loosely "models"） in a quadrant was a nice touch。 There were some interesting details and questions posed - and introduced me to some of the older business/team models。 However， certain sections seemed a bit shallower than others （not a critique of the fact that everything is in snapshot/overview， but the model itself is sometimes dated or debated at this point）。 Some of the "humor" in the data points of a visual/matrix also carries gendered assum The end page where they plotted the models （some loosely "models"） in a quadrant was a nice touch。 There were some interesting details and questions posed - and introduced me to some of the older business/team models。 However， certain sections seemed a bit shallower than others （not a critique of the fact that everything is in snapshot/overview， but the model itself is sometimes dated or debated at this point）。 Some of the "humor" in the data points of a visual/matrix also carries gendered assumptions that further indicate aging of the material。 。。。more

Una colección de ideas con una traducción bastante mala。 Algunos modelos son bastante conocidos en el ámbito de la gestión de proyectos， otros son originales y potencialmente útiles y la mayoría parecen ser inútiles。 Quizá este último grupo me pareció inútil porque la descripción de los modelos era demasiado somera y no los llegué a comprender bien。 Quién sabe。 En cualquier caso， no explicar los modelos adecuadamente es otro punto negativo para este libro。 Como punto positivo， hay que decir que Una colección de ideas con una traducción bastante mala。 Algunos modelos son bastante conocidos en el ámbito de la gestión de proyectos， otros son originales y potencialmente útiles y la mayoría parecen ser inútiles。 Quizá este último grupo me pareció inútil porque la descripción de los modelos era demasiado somera y no los llegué a comprender bien。 Quién sabe。 En cualquier caso， no explicar los modelos adecuadamente es otro punto negativo para este libro。 Como punto positivo， hay que decir que es un buen catálogo de ideas a explorar por uno mismo。 。。。more

One of those books that serves as a quick guide to those who know the underlying concept well。 Or alternatively， serves as a reference to other books！

Short and effective stories， easy to understand and apply。

Liked this book; however I found the explanations of each model overly simplistic。 If I want to really understand a specific model， I'll have to look it up to somewhere else。 I feel like more practical examples could have been given of each as well。 Anyways， quick and interesting read 。 Liked this book; however I found the explanations of each model overly simplistic。 If I want to really understand a specific model， I'll have to look it up to somewhere else。 I feel like more practical examples could have been given of each as well。 Anyways， quick and interesting read 。 。。。more

a great collection of models。 different ways to learn & improve/manage yourself and others。 i read it once all the way through to first be introduced to and learn the different models。 now ill keep it as a reference guide， like a cookbook of sorts， and dip in to various models as needed。

Sonradan kitaplaştırma amacına dönüştüğü fazla belli。 Sayfalarca Medium blog yazısı okumuş gibi hissettim。 Tecrübesiz ve az okuyan arkadaşlara tavsiye edeceğim bir kitap olurken diğer kesimler için yavan geleceğini itiraf etmem gerekir。 Disiplin ve teorilere ayrıca merakı olan biri olarak benim de birkaçını ilk kez bu kitapta gördüklerim oldu ki son yıldızı da buradan kazandı :）

A simple organised book that will help you use models as references to certain situations。 I enjoyed reading it and would keep those strategies available at hand at all times。

This isn't a book that you read in one sitting and move-on。 It's like a quick reference， you turn to every once in a while when you have a specific situation。 Some of the models I liked: The rubber band model: How to deal with a dilemmaThe making-of model: To determine your future， first understand your past。The double-loop learning model: How to learn from your mistakesThe Pareto principle: Why 80 percent of the output is achieved with 20 percent of the inputThe prisoner's dilemma: When is it w This isn't a book that you read in one sitting and move-on。 It's like a quick reference， you turn to every once in a while when you have a specific situation。 Some of the models I liked: The rubber band model: How to deal with a dilemmaThe making-of model: To determine your future， first understand your past。The double-loop learning model: How to learn from your mistakesThe Pareto principle: Why 80 percent of the output is achieved with 20 percent of the inputThe prisoner's dilemma: When is it worth rusting someone？ 。。。more
