Answer Questions

Whether from colleagues, meetings, or the marketplace of business ideas, business leaders encounter bulls**t that plagues their judgments, beliefs, and decisions. How can untruths and misleading information be better detected?

In this session, you’ll directly address commonly encountered bulls**t in the workplace and its unwanted effects, in the way of better detection, better disposal, and better decisions. You’ll also examine the benefits of paying more heed to evidence-based communication and reasoning.

  1. A better understanding of the conditions under which business leaders are most likely to encounter bullshit positions them to better detect, and dispose of, bulls**t.
  2. Better understanding of the consequences of bulls**t, and the critical questions to ask suspecting bullsh**tters, facilitate optimal decision making in the workplace.
  3.  A better understanding of the many benefits of relying on evidence-based communication and reasoning positions business leaders to make better decisions from hiring to investments to marketing and mergers.
