What to do with the fragility in a competitive society? The title of a recent conference of the philosopher Jean-Francois Malherbe is a question that all managers of “Human Resources” should be asking. Inspired by the first theory of dialogue, that of Socrates, Jean-Francois Malherbe said the prerequisites without which the dialogue seems unlikely.
Summarizes the seven-point conditions for dialogue that seems to undermine our society.
The dialogue:
1. Is a joint research between being authentic. This eliminates any conversation that would like to dominate the other.

2. Implies the mutual good. There would be a kind of solidarity inherent in the search for truth.

3. Means that everyone speaks in turn and do not scroll. Our society and our organizations emphasize the power of the moral authority gained by example.

The worst is that the substantial increase in the quantity and quality of information it needs very little helps the analyst to make better predictions. Dreman cites several studies that show that, in addition to a certain threshold, new information does not improve the quality of the decision of the expert, although this greatly increases the confidence that he is on his trial.

For example, a study of clinical psychologists was to ask them a diagnosis of a number of cases, while providing a certain amount of information for each case. When this information was rather limited, psychologists believed that they can be a correct diagnosis in 33% of cases, although their success rate was 26% on average. When information was multiplied by four, They evaluated their success rate to 53%, when in reality he was only 28% on average. Even when information on each case is multiplied by 400%, the quality of diagnosis increased by only 2%. “A large number of studies Demonstrate That Such people are overconfident Consistently When forming strong impressions from limited knowledge. Lawyers, for example, tends overestimate your chances of winning in Their short [...] Studies of clinical psychologists, physicians, engineers, Negotiator, and Security Analysts Showed They Were too confident in the Accuracy of Their predictions. ”

It is very discussed the issue, that investing in the stock market is risky. There are also comments, in which mention that the purchase and sale of shares is a gamble. the truth is that there are people that made money with the bag. But many more people who have lost a lot of money.

In research, show that there is a common in people who lose in the bag. And the problem is that over 90% of people invest without knowing, without study, without being prepared. The funny thing is that nobody throws a deep pool without knowing how to swim, no one can guide a car without having learned to manage and no one dares to open a business, if you know anything about. But, many people invest knowing the market trend, if the action is going to buy sale or purchase. Many things and just know that’s why they make mistakes.

• First, do not know how to choose a good broker and open an account with one because he does not know one person who recommended it.
• Second, make an opening … rather, make a purchase of an action, because they heard on television, read in the newspaper or your broker specialist, said that action was on the rise. Generally the media, inform you of the things that have passed, they say it will never be an accident, you say there was an accident, they say it will never be a robbery, you say there was a robbery in the case of shares rose inform you when.
• And third, very few people who can make their operations. Those who make their own, they hope to win on the rise … but opening and closing its operations at the time and the wrong way, as a result … lose their money. And those who handle operations specialists … the result is the same … they do not care if the investor wins or loses, they, like take their commission. Very few people, thankfully with these methods have made money.
