    History is full of brilliant leaders making incredibly poor choices. From President John F. Kennedy’s Bay of Pigs invasion to Wall Street’s heavy bets in the mortgage market, we see people with extraordinarily powerful cognitive abilities make terrible decisions. Why does this happen? Sydney Finkelstein, bestselling author and Steven Roth Professor of Management for the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, addresses the specific ways our minds are lured into making misguided judgments, and why organizations so often fail to correct the mistake. Most importantly, he identifies the way wise leaders sidestep these pitfalls, and how you can do the same.
