- Synopsis
- Complex decisions involving interpretation and judgment are difficult to get right. Especially considering the fact that our brains have developed decision making processes that rely heavily on our past experience. Misleading experiences are a common source of error in decision making that occur when the brain erroneously connects memories that seem similar to the situation we are currently assessing. But how do we know when an experience is misleading? In this chapter, the authors describe how to spot a misleading experience in advance and position yourself to strengthen the decision process, reducing the likelihood of making a bad decision. This chapter was originally published as chapter 5 of "Think Again: Why Good Leaders Make Bad Decisions and How to Keep It From Happening to You."
