Abstract
:
Most of our decision-making tends to be confrontational. Whether in meetings, one-to-one or in our own heads, opposite view points are pitted against each other. Ultimately, there must be a winner and a loser. Edward de Bono challenges this rock logic of rigid categories and point-scoring arguments.
