9780385502894In over two decades of research, Gary Klein has found that the most critical decisions we make are based on intuition. Although sometimes difficult to explain, intuition is important in making decisions and is based on the ability to recognize patterns and interpret cues, i.e., it develops through experience. In Klein's new book The Power of Intuition (formerly titled Intuition at Work), specific practical steps are offered to improve your intuition to help you perform your job more confidently and successfully. Filled with vivid examples, practice scenarios, and exercises, this authoritative book will help you develop and strengthen this critical skill crucial to navigating the workplace challenges you face everyday.

Reviews of The Power of Intuition:

General Anthony C. Zinni, USMC (retired)
"Gary Klein is regarded as the leading expert on intuition and has produced another groundbreaking work on the subject. This is a must-read for all those charged with making important decisions and for those who want to truly understand how we decide things."

Karl E. Weick, Rensis Likert Distinguished University Professor of Organizational Behavior and Psychology, University of Michigan Business School
"Gary Klein does a masterful job of accessing 'invisible' intuition in this book. [His] rigorous appreciation reveals that intuition is an improvable skill, which is surely welcome news at a time when so much is up for grabs."

Tom Kelley, general manager of IDEO, author of The Art of Innovation
"Intuition is an essential tool for innovation, and Gary Klein shows us how it's done. For anyone managing uncertainty (and who isn't these days?), reading this book would be time well spent."

Thomas Petzinger, CEO, LaunchCyte LLC, former "Front Lines" columnist, The Wall Street Journal
"Klein has devoted a career to demystifying the powers of human intuition. Now, in his new book, he demonstrates how to marshal it into the service of better organizations. Gary Klein is our guru of effective decision making."

Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute ManagerŪ and Whale Done!™"
"Gary Klein has written a clear, useful book that will help managers increase the quality of their decision making. Read it!"

Jon Katzenbach, senior partner, Katzenbach Partners LLC, author of The Wisdom of Teams
"Good executives recognize that they make decisions based on the gut instincts developed from experience. Based on years of research in fields from firefighting to chess, Gary Klein has developed an actionable model for how to systematically develop and leverage expert intuition. His work cannot be ignored by anyone who makes decisions for high stakes."
