- Synopsis
- Prejudgments influence decisions because of the way we tag our thoughts with emotions. In decision making, it is the emotional tags that help us sort through the many possible interpretations we could make of a given situation and the many possible courses of action we could take. If the new situation is different from previous situations, prejudgments can inappropriately anchor our thinking, disrupt our objectivity, and make it hard for us to think things through afresh when circumstances change. Spotting prejudgments is critical to preventing flawed decision making, and in this chapter, the authors show you how to identify situations in which prejudgments might interfere with your assessment capabilities. This chapter was originally published as chapter 6 of "Think Again: Why Good Leaders Make Bad Decisions and How to Keep It From Happening to You."
