An expert on the psychology of decision making at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business considers how to calibrate examines the importance of being confident, arguing that confidence is good, but overconfidence can hinder growth.A surge of confidence can feel fantastic—offering a rush of energy, even a dazzling vision of the future. It can give us courage and bolster our determination when facing adversity. But if that self-assurance leads us to pursue impossible goals, it can waste time, money, and energy. Self-help books and motivational speakers tell us that the more confident we are, the better. But this way of thinking can lead to enormous trouble.Decades of research demonstrates that we often have an over-inflated sense of self and are rarely as good as we believe. Perfectly Confident is the first book to bring together the best psychological and economic studies to explain exactly what confidence is, when it can be helpful, and when it can be destructive in our lives. Confidence is an attitude that takes into account both personal feelings and the facts. Don Moore identifies the ways confidence behaves in real life and raises thought-provoking questions. How optimistic should you be about an uncertain future? What justifies your confidence in something amorphous and subjective like your attractiveness or sense of humor? Moore reminds us that the key to success is to avoid being both over- and under-confident. In this essential guide, he shows how to become perfectly confident—how to strive for and maintain the well-calibrated, adaptive confidence that can elevate all areas of our lives.

A fresh, research-driven playbook for how successful leaders can maximize the potential of othersWhen we think of leaders, we often imagine lone, inspirational figures lauded for their behaviors, attributes, and personal decisions—a perception that is reinforced by many leadership books. However, this approach ignores the expectations of modern work cultures centered on equity and inclusion, where a leader’s true mission is to empower others. Applying decades of behavioral science research, Don A. Moore and Max H. Bazerman offer a passionate corrective to this view, casting today’s organizations as decision factories in which effective leaders are decision architects, enabling those around them to make wise, ethical choices consistent with their own interests and the organization’s highest values. As a result, a leader’s impact grows because it ripples out instead of relying on one individual to play the part of heroic figure. Filled with real-life stories and examples of the structures, incentives, and systems that successful leaders have used, this playbook equips each of us to facilitate wise decisions.

Perfect increzator. Cum sa-ti calibrezi deciziile intr-un mod intelept Aceasta carte ofera o perspectiva noua asupra increderii, indicand calea de mijloc dintre a avea prea multa incredere si avea prea putina. Pe parcurs, voi incerca sa clarific cateva conceptii eronate destul de comune cu privire la ce este increderea si cum functioneaza ea. Pentru ca ea nu este nici o trasatura de personalitate si nici o masura a pretuirii de sine. Priveste-o mai degraba ca pe o evaluare care ia in considerare atat convingerile tale, cat si informatiile concrete. Este o evaluare a capacitatilor tale si a ceea ce poti realiza. Daca doresti sa iei decizii mai intelepte cu privire la viitor, fie in viata personala, fie in cea profesionala, Perfect increzator este lectura perfecta. - Daniel H. Pink, autorul cartii Drive In orice decizie pe care o iei sau orice obiectiv il ai ca tinta exista 2 moduri de a ori prin prea putina incredere, ori, din contra, prin prea multa incredere. Don Moore si-a petrecut intreaga cariera studiind cum sa gasim echilibrul perfect intre cele doua extreme. - Adam Grant, autorul cartii Give and Take Traducere din limba engleza de George Chirita.
