The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone
Scott Cryer
Did you know humans are bad at making decisions?
Not bad like murdering your neighbor bad, just plain old poor decisions. Decisions made too late, decisions motivated by survival and fear, decisions made in a vacuum, and decisions made to protect what you already have.

Some of the largest companies in the world, such as Microsoft and Sony, have almost lost it all due to Self-Licking Ice Cream Cones! In this book, I talk about how you can stop your company from falling into the same trap of creating your own cone.
The Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone equips business owners, business leaders, and the inquisitive minds in between with the tools to make their cultures, companies, and lives more successful. The tools within take little knowledge or experience to understand, but can have a huge impact on you, your team, and your organization.
