Napoleon and Decision Making - Part 1

Published: Nov. 11, 2019, 11:30 a.m.

b'Coming up this week, it\\u2019s double episode time! Last month, I spoke at Alexei Sidorenko\\u2019s 2019 Risk Awareness Week talking about my favorite historical figure \\u2013 Napoleon Bonaparte \\u2013 tracking his trajectory from good to bad decision making.

In this week\\u2019s double episode, I will be repurposing that presentation for the Risktory Podcast. From the time Napoleon was an exceptional risk manager to the time he wasn\\u2019t so good at managing risk. And to use Napoleon\\u2019s trajectory to illustrate what good decision making looks like versus what bad decision making looks like.

If you want to see my presentation at 2019 Risk Awareness Week, and gain access to the slide deck that accompanies the presentation, then please head on over to 2019.riskawarenessweek.com. You\\u2019ll also find, on the 2019 Risk Awareness Week site, presentations from some great risk thinkers including two Risktorians: Alexei Sidorenko and Christian Hunt.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin.
