The Shark and the Fish Format: Paperback

Use poker strategy to become a better decision maker

In high-stakes poker, you need patience and aggression — qualities that translate to the world of business. In The Shark and the Fish, Charley Swayne applies winning poker strategies to decision-making and leadership.

Learn how to:

• avoid losing control and going on tilt,
• turn losses into lessons,
• perfect the art of negotiating a deal,
• understand the stakes and your financial limitations,
• evaluate your opponents, and assess what they know about you,
• read risk and reward — should you bid, bluff, or fold?

In this unique strategy book, Charley Swayne teaches you how to be the shark at the boardroom table, not the fish.
