We make hundreds of decisions daily, ranging from small ones like what to wear today and how to drive to work to big ones like the company strategy and whether to launch a restructuring program that may impact thousands of people. In the business world, studies suggest that company executives spend 40% of their time making decisions, and the effectiveness of their decisions largely drives the results of the companies they lead.

In "Super Deciders: The Science and Practice of Making Decisions in Dynamic and Uncertain Times," a team of renowned researchers and business advisors apply the latest advances in neuroscience to effectively making the most difficult decisions, those we make in dynamic environments, in situations of uncertainty when we need to predict outcomes, where we're missing relevant information, time is scarce, and the environment is constantly changing.

The book is written in three parts. In the first part, the book offers a practical framework for making effective decisions under uncertainty. In the second part, the book discusses approaches to effectively implement those decisions, thus managing change at every level, from the individual to the organizational. Finally, the book develops suggestions on how leaders can diagnose and improve – in themselves and in the people they lead – the cognitive abilities relevant to decision-making.
