I’m borrowing this post from Leadership Strategies by Briefings Publishing Group. I hope they don’t mind. I shared this concept with a friend on Wednesday and we both agreed it was a very unique approach.
From page 3 of their premiere issue.
Leaders Know The Value of Intuition
Much has been written about intuition, whether it should be relied upon or ignored in favor of concrete information. As a result of interviews with 60 decision makers, Ron Schultz has learned that many rely on intuition to make decisions.
For example, John Rollwagen, former head of Cray Research, has a favorite method for making decisions when intuition seems to be sending a message: Toss a coin. While you shouldn’t act on the results of the coin toss, note how you feel when you get your “answer.” Are you pleased? Disappointed? Pay attention to that feeling.
While not strictly logical, intuition does draw on a combination of experience, knowledge and analysis as well as a lot of “gut” information you may not even know you have.
