Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling & Anna Rosling Rӧnnlund - Hodder & Stoughton
When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. Factfulness offers a radical new explanation of why this happens, and reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective.
Awarded to the entry that offers the best practical and accessible insights or guidance to help inspire managers in their work or professional development.
