Taking Aim for Better Decision-Making

New Book Positions Decision-Making as Competitive Advantage!

For Immediate Release: January 31, 2007

Contact: Bob Cannon, 216-408-9495

Cleveland, OH: In his new book, “Taking Aim for Better Decision-Making,” Robert Cannon points out that decision-making is a serious and growing problem. Research at Ohio State shows that, “decisions fail half of the time.” This is a huge problem for business and it is even more challenging in today’s environment of speed, information overload, uncertainty and change. Cannon examines the traditional decision-making process and the reasons why it is not producing better results. He also provides an alternative approach that fosters greater commitment to the decision and facilitates smoother, faster implementation and improved results.

“Bob Cannon has captured the essence of leadership in this special book. The best piece of advice I can give you is to devour this book. Buy one for each of your managers, and use it to spark ideas, and discussions” said Mark LeBlanc, Author of “Growing Your Business”.
