Research says that smart people may actually be more susceptible to irrational thinking & poor decision making. We all know those people who are incredibly clever yet make decisions that are absolutely baffling. The intelligent people who believe in conspiracy theories or highly educated colleagues who constantly make silly decisions. This is called the intelligence trap & David has written a book about it & what he learnt can help us all to make more wise decisions. We talk through the trap & how it can help us to better understand the world & the people around us, as well as how we can check if we ourselves are falling for the trap, plus how to identify it & manage it in our organisations.  Find a transcript of our conversation here.
