Description

Use poker strategy to become a better decision maker

In high-stakes poker, you need patience and aggression — qualities that translate to the world of business. In The Shark and the Fish, Charley Swayne applies winning poker strategies to decision-making and leadership.

Learn how to:

  • avoid losing control and going on tilt,
  • turn losses into lessons,
  • perfect the art of negotiating a deal,
  • understand the stakes and your financial limitations,
  • evaluate your opponents, and assess what they know about you,
  • read risk and reward — should you bid, bluff, or fold?

In this unique strategy book, Charley Swayne teaches you how to be the shark at the boardroom table, not the fish.
