In nearly every industry, smart machines are replacing human labor.

If we humans are going to endure, Edward Hess and Katherine Ludwig say we're going to need a dose of humility.

Smart machines will always be better than we are at those things.

In today's transparent culture, the decision making of leaders is more vulnerable than ever - and it is more critical than ever to get it right.

We've decided by consensus that consensus is good. In In Defense of Troublemakers, psychologist Charlan Nemeth argues that this principle is completely wrong: left unchallenged, the majority opinion is often biased, unoriginal, or false. It leads planes and markets to crash, causes juries to convict innocent people, and can quite literally make people think blue is green. In the name of comity, we embrace stupidity. We can make better decisions by embracing dissent. Dissent forces us to question the status quo, consider more information, and engage in creative decision-making.

Digital technologies are disrupting organizations of every size and shape, leaving managers scrambling to find a technology fix that will help their organizations compete. This book offers managers and business leaders a guide for surviving digital disruptions - but it is not a book about technology.
