About the Book
A 20-minute field guide to stop bad decisions.
Why do brilliant leaders believe in ideas that defy logic? Smart people make stupid decisions at work when speed, status, and noise drown out intelligence. The Stupid Syndrome is a business parable that shows you how to spot stupidity's early signals, arrest its slide, and reset decisions on facts. These pages deliver a tight, reusable framework, as well as tools such as the Veritas Model, the Reality Check, and the Recognise–Reflect–Review–Decide Loop. A candid field guide for leaders who want less theatre and more results. Read it in twenty minutes. Use it for years.
