Managing the Unmanageable: Managerial Self-delusion via Killer Assumptions, Lecture 13—Slides

Slides to accompany lecture titled "Managerial Self-Delusion via Killer Assumptions," which was planned by Warfield to be Number 13 of an overall series of 14 videotapes to be called "Managing the Unmanageable." For a video of the accompanying lecture, click here.

These are manuscript copies of PowerPoint slides prepared for a videotaped lecture filmed on June 16, 2000 at George Washington University Television studio in Washington, D.C. The printouts of the slides were sent to GMU but the VIDEOTAPE WAS NOT SENT to GMU LIBRARIES, but kept at home because Warfield is still working on his MTU video series. This lecture titled "Managerial Self-Delusion via Killer Assumptions" was planned by Warfield to be Number 13 of an overall series of 14 videotapes to be called "Managing the Unmanageable." Eight of the LECTURES in the series were videotaped at George Washington University Television Studio (GWU-TV), in Washington, D.C. in June 2000. Warfield had planned five more lectures for this series, but he did not have time to do the videotapes for those remaining five before leaving town. Of the series of 14 planned video lectures, Warfield was able to make tapes for No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 7, No. 9, No. 13, and No. 14 at GWU-TV. Number 1 of his series had been taped several months before, on 23 Feb, at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. For his of eight televised lectures, GWU-TV used five Beta cassettes, which hold the MASTER tapes. Warfield received all five Beta masters from GWU-TV studio. In addition GWU-TV gave Warfield a set of four VHS cassettes, copied from the Beta masters, which also hold all eight of the lectures.
