  We are told from a young age that we should strive to make the right decisions, but we aren't taught exactly how to do this. Every day, we make over 35,000 decisions in our personal and professional lives. How many of those decisions do you get right?In this book, data strategist Ruben Ugarte helps business executives systematically tackle these 35,00 decisions. Executives are forced to make critical decisions that impact their lives, their employees' lives, and their customers. Decisions like what products to create, who should be hired, and what divisions to shut down are all commonplace in the executive suite.The book will offer three strategies for dealing with decisions: problem-solving techniques, routines, and decision-making frameworks. Each strategy is designed to help listeners achieve more clarity, gain time back, and improve the quality of their decisions. The first one will focus on helping listeners solve the right problem instead of wasting time on the wrong one. The second strategy will help listeners deal with decisions that need to be made once but can then be executed regularly. The third and final strategy will provide a three-step framework for making the most important decisions in their lives.

  Average Is Over

  The widening gap between rich and poor means dealing with one big, uncomfortable truth: If you' re not at the top, you' re at the bottom.The global labor market is changing radically thanks to growth at the high end-- and the low. About three quarters of the jobs created in the United States since the great recession pay only a bit more than minimum wage. Still, the United States has more millionaires and billionaires than any country ever, and we continue to mint them.In this eye-opening book, renowned economist and bestselling author Tyler Cowen explains that phenomenon: High earners are taking ever more advantage of machine intelligence in data analysis and achieving ever-better results. Meanwhile, low earners who haven' t committed to learning, to making the most of new technologies, have poor prospects. Nearly every business sector relies less and less on manual labor, and this fact is forever changing the world of work and wages. A steady, secure life somewhere in the middle-- average-- is over.With The Great Stagnation, Cowen explained why median wages stagnated over the last four decades; in Average Is Over he reveals the essential nature of the new economy, identifies the best path forward for workers and entrepreneurs, and provides readers with actionable advice to make the most of the new economic landscape. It is a challenging and sober must-read but ultimately exciting, good news. In debates about our nation' s economic future, it will be impossible to ignore.
