Summary of Decisive
(Chip Heath and Dan Heath)
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
When it comes to making decisions, you probably at one time or another have ended up making a bad decision because you’ve fallen foul of one or more of the four most common biases:
You narrow your options and miss better choices.
You only gather information which is favorable.
You let your emotions get in the way.
You’re overconfident about how it will turn out.
The way to overcome these biases and become more decisive is to use the WRAP Process. Whenever you’re faced with a decision:
At its core, the WRAP model urges you to switch from
auto spotlight to manual spotlight. Rather than make choices based on what naturally comes to your attention— visceral emotions, self-serving information, overconfident predictions, and so on— you deliberately illuminate more strategic spots. You sweep your light over a broader landscape and point it into hidden corners. We want to make you a bit better at making good decisions, and we want to help you make your good decisions a bit more decisively (with appropriate confidence, as opposed to overconfidence). We also want to make you a better adviser to your colleagues and loved ones who are making decisions, because it’s usually easier to see other people’s biases than your own.
