Review title: Not Effective
Product review: The most insightful advice in the book comes on the first page of Chapter 1 - "All decisions have three parts: 1) you identify your goals 2) you identify your options; and 3) you choose from among your options". The rest of the book goes downhill from there. Nothing much more is offered. The examples used tend to lack demonstration of insights into real-world effective decision-making, which is unexpected considering that he studied the decision-making process of Middle East leaders. The second half of the book I found to be tedious without much actual usefulness. Even the selling points, the 9 main steps to effective decision making, are redundant and can be reduced down to those 3 parts stated earlier. Very boring reading. You can throw out most of the chapters and it wouldn't make much of an impact on the overall book. Pass on this one.
