How do you function? Do you instinctively skip through moving traffic to cross the road or do you wait for the green pedestrian signal? Do you plan your holidays in minute detail or do you just grab the essentials and go? These risk-taking tendencies, will reflect your most consequential personal characteristics. Accurate identification and recognition of these instincts will shape culture and enhance decision-making effectiveness at individual, team and organisational level.
Accurate identification of these all-important risk instincts will enhance decision-making performance at all levels of the organisation. Neuroscience identifies the personal biases that come into play whenever we make decisions. Two independent systems contribute to this, Emotion (how anxious or fearlessly risk-embracing we are) and Cognition (the degree to which we can tolerate uncertainty or need to make sense of everything). Emotion and Cognition combine in predictable ways to establish each individual’s distinctive decision-making style. Research demonstrates how these individual differences in risk instinct are compounded within the dynamics of group thinking, creating the undercurrents that shape our decision making.
