Why lies distort decision making - and how to prevent them

In the world of large organizations, this phenomenon can affect everything from military strategies to corporate success. Exaggerating the good stuff and sweeping the challenges under the rug can be fatal for organizations, militaries and governments alike - paving the path to self-destruction.
