Breaking Through the Problem-Solving Paradox
Why do brilliant minds sometimes make catastrophic decisions? When Dell's performance plummeted in 2007, observers quickly blamed CEO Kevin Rollins-a classic case of jumping to conclusions without proper analysis. This tendency to create coherent narratives from incomplete information isn't just a business problem; it's fundamentally human. "Cracked It!" has become a cult favorite among consultants and strategists because it addresses this universal challenge with a systematic approach that bridges academic theory and practical application. The book reveals a fundamental tension in problem-solving: our brains operate in two modes. "System 1" thinking-fast, automatic, and unconscious-quickly constructs narratives through association. "System 2" thinking is slow, deliberate, and effortful, questioning assumptions and applying analytical frameworks. The challenge is avoiding both Othello's hasty conclusions and Hamlet's analysis paralysis. What makes this particularly tricky? Expertise can become a liability. Within their domains, experts recognize patterns effectively. But facing problems outside their expertise, they often perform worse than novices-their mental models become rigid, they grow overconfident, and develop poor solutions based on superficial analogies. This explains why brilliant engineers might struggle with marketing challenges or finance experts might mishandle organizational problems.
