3 Strategies to Make Fewer Mistakes
In 2019
No matter how
successful or experienced, everyone makes mistakes. No one bats a thousand, and that's okay. It is impossible to always be right. However, there are ways to avoid making poor judgments and decisions, and it centers around being aware of your
hidden biases.
