The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone: How to Make Better Decisions for Yourself, Your Team, and Your Orga
"Did you know humans are bad at making decisions?
Not bad like murdering your neighbor bad, just plain old poor decisions. Decisions made too late, decisions motivated by survival and fear, decisions made in a vacuum, and decisions made to protect what you already have.
This problem has a name: The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone!
Originally this was a term to describe governmental waste, but after coming to the business world, Scott Cryer realized that it is not unique to the government and is prevalent everywhere in the corporate world. Some of the largest companies in the world, such as Microsoft and Sony, have almost lost it all due to Self-Licking Ice Cream Cones! In this book, I talk about how you can stop your company from falling into the same trap of creating your own cone.
The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone equips business owners, business leaders, and the inquisitive minds in between with the tools to make their cultures, companies, and lives more successful. The tools within take little knowledge or experience to understand, but can have a huge impact on you, your team, and your organization.
In this book, you will learn:
- The three types of cones you will see in business.
- How each cone is formed and the signs of them.
- The negative effects of each cone on your business growth.
- The Decision Maker's Lunchbox (Packing, Partitioning, Perfecting) - each P has two tools to help make better decisions and avoid SLICCs.
This uncomfortably familiar and often humorous book will help you finally fall asleep at night instead of racking your brain for a solution to your perpetual woes.
