Decision-making is an art and in today’s corporate world, every employee is expected to excel in it to ensure personal and professional success. The ability to foresee events, called ‘intuition’ or the ‘sixth sense’ is now emerging as a major tool for quick and effective decision-making. Hence, ‘intuition’ is an EQ (Emotional Quotient) component, a pre-requisite for a successful manager.
Sixth Sense
According to Intuition Magazine Online, “Intuition is increasingly recognised as a natural mental faculty, a key element in the creative process, a means of discovery, problem solving and decision-making. Once considered the province of a gifted few, it is now recognised as an innate capacity available to everyone, not a rare, accidental talent, but a natural skill anyone can cultivate”.
Advantages of intuition
Intuition is always quicker and surer. It has a greater grasp on reality because it relies heavily on repetitive experiences.
Confusion, which is reinforced by using logic, is totally uncalled for in intuition. This accelerates clarity of thought.
Intuitive ability primarily helps managers to arrive at emotionally competent decisions.
Developing intuition
Some guidelines:
Refrain from arriving at conclusions by mere logic
Consciously pause and think
Hibernate in silence
Concentrate on first impressions about a problem
Develop a listening ear
Practice, practice and practice!
The essence of the entire exercise is ‘learning to listen to the thoughts-- thoughts instilled by self-assessment ’!
A futuristic vision
A penchant for the magical ability called intuition could bridge the gap between the logical mind and the introspective mind.
What DO you all think?? Does Intuition plays a role in decision making in this so called practical world?
Do share your thoughts on this.
