Conversations have consequences. Discussions lead to decisions that
shape the future for individuals, families, companies, and nations.
Too often these decisions are derailed by faulty logic and false
constraints. These pitfalls are not simply hidden, but deviously veiled
in the guise of wisdom, truth, and common sense.
Expensive Sentencesexposes the clichéd wisdom that leads to lost time,
money, and opportunity. Readers will discover how to hear
decision-making traps in real time, and learn to guide teams back to
fact and logic that will lead to better outcomes.
Through historic examples, business stories, and personal anecdotes
drawn from decades of experience, the author illustrates the prevalence
and impact of flawed reasoning. Equally important, the book includes a
clear path to improvement: sample text to upgrade conversations and
exercises to correct assumptions and clarify solutions.
