"When I was searching for innovative leadership theories as a Wall Street Journal concept, I came across Gary Klein's work. It was one of the best discoveries I made in years of searching. At the most rigorous level, Klein has devoted a career to de-mystifying the powers of human intuition. Now, in his new book, he demonstrates how to marshal it in the service of better organizations. Gary Klein is our guru of effective decision-making."
--Tom Petzinger, CEO, LaunchCyte LLC; former "Front Lines" columnist, The Wall Street Journal.


“Gary Klein is regarded as the leading expert on intuition and has produced another groundbreaking work on the subject. This is a must read for all those charged with making important decisions and for those who want to truly understand how we decide things.” --Anthony C. Zinni, USMC (Retired)


"Gary Klein does a masterful job of accessing 'invisible' intuition in this book. Klein's rigorous appreciation reveals that intuition is an improvable skill, which is surely welcome news at a time when so much is up for grabs."
