Publisher's Summary

A well-paid executive feels trapped in her very respected but unsatisfying job. A startup founder has paying customers, but knows that unless he "fires" them and pivots the business, his startup won't make it. A senior government planner is tasked with undoing the nation's reliance on outdated infrastructure.

These are all examples of individuals stuck in a Local Maximum; we've reached a peak, but not the one that fulfills the highest potential. In order to move up in our pursuits, we must first move back down—a realization which can lead to frustration, decision-making paralysis, and lost opportunity.

In How to Move Up When the Only Way Is Down, Judah Taub draws from his perspective guiding early stage AI startups, his years serving in military intelligence, and experiences leading innovation throughout his career. With his off-the-beaten path perspective, Judah shares insights into how humans can achieve better decision-making by learning how AI overcomes local maximums. Explore:

- How to anticipate and identify Local Maximums

- How to overcome psychological Local Maximum blocks and biases

- How to build skills and apply strategies to succeed in complex decision-making

- And more
