The author's name is Michael J. Mauboussin. He referred to recent decision research that illustrated his idea that smart people possess the following characteristics: 1) they believe themselves to be smarter than others; 2) they are eternally optimistic; and 3) they believe themselves to have more control over events than they actually do. Hence, those three properties blind smart people to overlook flags and signals from their environments that--in retrospect--were there all the time, but were missed, and that led to poor choices. I commend the article to all of you. Regards, Jim The Futurist Magazine recently had an article titled, Smart People, Dumb Decisions, that was written by an author of a book about the same subject.
