THINKING INTELLIGENTLY
Better leadership thinking; challenging assumptions, bias and conventional reasoning
The quality of a decision is shaped long before the decision is made.
It begins with how we think.
Leaders are expected to make sense of complexity, reconcile competing perspectives and reach conclusions from information that is rarely complete or unambiguous.
The difficulty is that the way an organisation thinks can quietly constrain the decisions available to it.
Assumptions become invisible. Familiar explanations gain authority. Evidence is interpreted through experience. Confidence grows faster than understanding. Consensus discourages challenge. And once a particular way of thinking becomes established, alternatives can become surprisingly difficult to see.
The result is a problem every leader encounters:
How do you know whether the organisation has reached the best conclusion—or simply the most familiar one?
Thinking Intelligently is about challenging the thinking that happens before judgement becomes action.
The second volume in the Intelligent Risk Series, it brings together 100 questions, provocations and reflections designed to help leaders examine assumptions, test reasoning, challenge established perspectives, explore alternatives and recognise the patterns of thought shaping organisational decisions.
It does not tell leaders what to think.
It helps them question how they are thinking.
Because better thinking is rarely produced by adding more information. Sometimes it begins by asking a better question of the information already available.
This is not a book that needs to be read from beginning to end.
Open it anywhere.
Bring one page into an executive meeting. Use another to test the reasoning behind a strategic decision. Put a question to a leadership team before consensus forms. Take one into a workshop when the conversation has become too comfortable. Return whenever familiar thinking begins producing familiar answers.
Some pages will strengthen an argument.
Others may give you reason to reconsider it.
Because leaders cannot consistently make better decisions without first improving the thinking that produces them.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
