Everyday in our life we are decide many things from drinking a coffee in
the morning that makes us brisk to what
the A/C temperature should be in our bedroom that will be comfortable for me to
sleep at night. Decisions!!!! Decisions!!!! & only Decisions!!!!…. Apart
from these kind of decisions, also the managers has to take N number of new
decisions everyday which is really tricky and tough to do. Even the smart and
the most successful persons have also taken some wrong decisions in life which
has backfired.
When I came on sabbatical from NTPC for 3 continuous years to do my MS
in IITM, I have got a strong resistance from my family. I have to take the call
and convince everyone in my family for my actions. So it may be a life turning
moment for me in a positive direction towards a great journey (to join as a
student by leaving a well settled job) or in the vice versa.
So Decision are usually of 2 types as discussed in class. One is
rational one and the other is intuitive one. Great Leaders always go in hand
with intuition rather than being more logical in life. Some are based on
intuitive, some are emotional, and some are situation based.
A superb example of Bajaj CEO’s decision of introducing the 150 CC bikes
after rejecting the report given by logical decision(supported with full of
evidence) has turned to be a super doper hit. This tells how important it is to
nurture the intuitive decision making capacity of one. At the same time one
shouldn’t confuse between intuition & other fear or disturbances in our
mind while deciding or making a decision. We should also be able to
differentiate between intuitions and logical decisions.In the above example of
my decision I followed my intuitions rather than logical being. If I strict to
be a logical guy then I should have stick with NTPC than joining IIT. But my
intuitions have something new for me. In Intuitive decision making picking
contradictory evidences is very difficult as identification of these evidences
require a rational approach.
In the movie 12 Angry Men which was played in the class the 11 were against the boy and they want him to be punishes based on the evidences, whereas only one with his intuition was voting against the eleven and supporting the kid. This clearly explains the intuitive behaviour in decision making.

One should be aware about some pitfalls while making decisions like Pitfalls Don't prejudice about something, Don't be too much emotional, Don't just go with group's opinions, Don't forget to analyse the complete scenario.
