Summary
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.
