The Halo Effect: And the Eight Other Business Delusions That Deceive Managers

Why Most Business Thinking Is Wrong

Why do some companies succeed while others fail? We think we know the answer — but we're usually wrong. In The Halo Effect, strategy professor Phil Rosenzweig exposes the nine delusions that distort our understanding of business performance, starting with the most pervasive: the Halo Effect.

When a company is doing well, we assume everything about it is great — its leadership, culture, strategy, and people. When it stumbles, we say the opposite. But this is an illusion. Rosenzweig dismantles the myths behind bestselling business books and shows why so much conventional wisdom about corporate success is built on sand.

Praised by Nassim Nicholas Taleb as "one of the most important management books of all time", this updated edition includes a new preface and two new chapters that make it more essential than ever.
