Planning, Common Sense, and Superior Performance
by Erwin Rausch
This practical book is intended to help readers enhance their common sense - intuitive as well as your critical thinking skills (the planning and decision-making skills).
A big claim, to be certain, but undoubtedly a valid one. As everyone knows, common sense of adults, and with it the ability to make many decisions almost intuitively with minimum thought, is vastly better than that of teenagers. Experience and learning that translated itself into better judgment and reasoning ability, account for this change.
Practicing the relatively simple formula that this book offers, and developing the habit to apply it regularly, can lead to a quantum step toward a higher level of common sense for developing plans and making decisions at work and in personal life.
In addition to helping with plans and decisions, the book shows how to be a more effective leader.
The thoughts in the book are valuable for manages with or without staff, and for aspiring managers. They address decisions on matters which, directly or indirectly, involve people. They thus apply not only to managers with supervisory responsibilities but also to individuals on professional tracks. The latter are frequently in positions on teams or projects where they are likely to assume leadership responsibilities. Furthermore, the ideas and recommendations in the book apply equally to work in all private sector and public organizations.
Even where leadership and management responsibilities, and decisions, involve family affairs, most of the sections of this book can be valuable. They address key issues for decision-making and interpersonal relations, and they do it from a unique, practical, and comprehensive perspective.
