Innovation In Compliance With Tom Fox

Dr. Gleb Tsipursky is an expert in the field of disaster avoidance. He joins Tom Fox on this week’s show to talk about his work, including how he helps leaders avoid decisions that lead to disaster. Avoiding Disaster “Avoiding a disaster is always preferable to recovering from it. So I believe to avoid disaster we have to understand where disasters come from. There are only two things that lead to disasters, and they both come from our decisions,” says Gleb. “...One is an active decision where we make a decision ourselves that leads to a pretty disastrous situation… The other type of disaster comes from when we fail to make a decision that we need to make to avoid a disaster.” Glen says that his mission is to help leaders recognize and overcome the cognitive biases that lead them into making disastrous decisions. These cognitive biases are the decision-making patterns that we fall into because of how our brain is wired, he points out. Our instincts are not wired for the modern environment.  Magical Thinking
