No one likes to be tricked. But it still happens sometimes, and some of us have friends who are tricked all the time. What’s lacking here is a better way to make decisions and not get tricked. In this episode, we discuss:
– The disinformation and misinformation landscape
– Common practices that trick people
– Implications for people, leaders and organizations
