Making Snap Decisions

From a corporate perspective, this ability to make snap decisions about situations and people in a blink has significant implications on how we interview and recruit staff.   It has an impact on how we interact with people who are different than ourselves, how we develop relationships with people at work and our reactions in confrontational situations.  It affects our networking and business relationship building. 

The key learning is that even though we make instant judgments about situations and people that bring into play all of our biases, a result of our beliefs, attitudes, values, experiences, educations and more, the important thing is that these decisions be accompanied using the process of thin-slicing and that it is largely unconscious.
