The single most important factor that determines your success in business is not the knowledge you have memorized but rather the quality of the decisions you make. Despite the importance of critical decision making, most people do not have clear understanding of how they actually make decisions. We think we are rational, yet non-rational processes and biases have much more influence on our decisions than we realize. In this talk we will explore the impact of some of these biases on our decision making so that through recognizing the biases and compensating for them we can make improve our decision making and critical thinking abilities.

How do managers and leaders differ? What do organizations need – manager or leaders? In this lecture we will focus on the similarities and differences between being a leader and being a manager. We will examine the skills associated with each role and the importance of using the skills appropriately. We will also use theoretical frameworks to examine how organizations can cultivate both leadership and managerial skills in employees, and provide structures that capitalize on both sets of skills.
