An Alternative Approach for Improved Decision-Making
Edward N. Gamble, Ph.D, CPA
What will it take to move from polarized positioning to open- minded thinking?
Many people seem to be stuck. Entrenched. Unable to be dislodged from narrow, rigid, dogmatic viewpoints. Is there a way to move past this paralysis—what Dr. Edward Gamble calls “narrow-blindedness”—towards an open mind?
In From Narrow-Blinded to Open Minded: An Alternative Approach for Improved Decision-Making, Dr. Gamble offers the “3T” model—think, talk, and take action—to bring back civil and productive dialogue to work toward innovative solutions. For each aspect of the model, Dr. Gamble explores the modern foibles contributing to the problem, adding entertaining stories from his travels around the globe and offers logical alternate strategies and actions to help us take a more effective path.
