This document discusses various topics related to decision making. It begins by outlining the topics to be covered, including the nature of decision making, types of decisions, factors influencing the decision-making process, and models of decision making. It then discusses Simon's normative model of decision making, which is based on the notion of bounded rationality and how decision makers use heuristics and satisfice due to constraints.

Key decisions in life like career, education and lifestyle require considering goals, available options, and making a logical choice.
The document discusses various aspects of decision making including defining decision making, factors that influence decisions, the importance of rational decision making, and challenges with delayed decisions. It provides a 6-step decision making model and includes case studies about choosing an education path and deciding whether to divert a train to save some children at the expense of one child. Key lessons are that acquiring knowledge helps decision making, rational decisions consider all options and consequences, and hasty decisions may not always be the best choice.
This document discusses the scenario of a group of children playing near two railway tracks, one operational and one disused. A train is approaching on the operational track where most of the children are playing. One option is to divert the train onto the disused track, sacrificing the lone child playing there in order to save the other children. However, this scenario raises complex questions about decision-making and whether sacrificing one for the many is always the right choice, particularly considering the lone child made the safer decision to play on the disused track. The document advocates making careful, thoughtful decisions rather than hasty ones, as diverting the train could endanger the lives of passengers on board.
The document describes a scenario where children are playing near train tracks, one active and one inactive. Most children are playing on the active track. The dilemma is whether to divert an approaching train to the inactive track, saving most children but sacrificing the lone child on the inactive track, or letting the train continue on its path. It discusses how people often choose to sacrifice the minority for the majority. It argues the proper decision is to not divert the train, as the children on the active track knew the risks, and diverting could endanger passengers on the train.
The document describes a scenario where children are playing near train tracks, one active and one inactive. The dilemma is whether to divert an oncoming train onto the inactive track, saving most children but sacrificing the lone child playing there, or letting the train continue on its path. Most would choose to divert the train, but the story suggests that decision unfairly sacrifices the one child who made the safe choice to play away from the active track. It advises that the best decision may not always be the most popular one.

The document discusses the band Green Day and their rise to fame in 1994. Green Day helped popularize punk rock music and provided an outlet for youth and young adults to express their frustrations with adolescence. Their music resonated with many kids dealing with issues like broken homes or raising themselves. While popular, their lyrics also contained blunt messages about societal issues that troubled younger generations at the time.

This document summarizes an essay about end of life decisions. It discusses how advancements in technology have complicated defining death and issues around euthanasia. Living wills allow people to communicate their end of life wishes in cases where they cannot communicate verbally. Ethical issues can arise around keeping someone alive on life support in a vegetative state versus allowing natural death.
This document discusses flawed decision making and the human tendencies of rationalization and denial. It provides examples of how people rationalize risky, unhealthy, or irresponsible behaviors instead of objectively evaluating situations. The document suggests people are often unable to logically process information and make good decisions when strong emotions or desires are involved. It also explores how denial and rationalization are defense mechanisms the brain uses to avoid discomfort and protect existing beliefs from conflicting facts. Overall, the document examines how rationalization and denial contribute to flawed decision making.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

15. Decisionmaking is a recursive process, in which case
decisions aremade byweighing the pros andcons of
alternativedecisions.
It isthe process of "moving backand forth between the
choiceof criteria(thecharacteristicswe want our choices to
meet) andthe identificationof alternatives(the possibilities
we can choose from among).
24. • Decision making is
the act of choosing
one alternative from
among a set of
alternatives.
• We have to first decide that a
decision has to be made and then
secondly identify a set of feasible
alternatives before we select one.
25. The Nature of
Decision Making
Making effective decisions, as well as recognizing
when a bad decision has been made and quickly
responding to mistakes, is a key ingredient in
organizational effectiveness.
Some experts believe that decision making is the
most basic and fundamental of all managerial
activities.
Decision making is most closely linked with the
Planning function.
However, it is also part of Organizing, Leading and
Controlling.
26. A successful manager doesn't just attack symptoms;
he works to uncover the factors that cause these
symptoms.

34. Say there are two railroad tracks. One track is
closed for use, another is in use. Five or six
children are playing on the open track. One child is
playing on the closed track.
A train is coming from away. The train blows the
horn, but it’s not working. The train is too close
now and the only option the driver has is to switch
the tracks.
Whether he should continue on the track he is on
and hit five kids or whether he should switch
temporarily to the closed track and hit the only kid
there?

42. As in English Literature series shakespere
'HAMLET' - as the saying says 'to be or not to
be' in decision making involves psychological
theories to make better assumptions. The
person involved in making decision carrying
within himself list of psychological sickness
as well as psychological mental trauma.
Dear Sir,
43. In my opinion I think of little harm done, THE BEST
PRIORITY, I consider is that let the train passed on the right
track, even though it may harm few kids while saving the
train and its passengers.
Action Risk Reward
Take
open
track
Kill more kids
for sure
100% safety of train
passengers, 100%
guarantee that anyone
who has followed
instructions is safe.
Take
closed
track
Risk train
passengers,
risk future
confusion
Kill less number of kids
in short term. Kill one.
Here is a risk reward matrix that explains the decision.
44. My hunch is that, MOST
PROBABLY, these local kids
and their families for de-
cades have lived and played
there with knowledge of the
passing train. So why so
much worry about them.
My intuitive mind tells me
that while the train nearing
the kids, at least some kids
are aware of the approa-
ching train while the other
kids may heed the warning
of the sound of the train.
45.
46. Moreover, what if the
accident really happens
and that all the
communities involved
will then be aware of their
adamant parents and
kids to accept the fate
and learn their bitter
lessons for decades. And
that local authorities
should be well aware of
that matter.
48. All of them
have to accept
the fate and
learn their
bitter lessons.

he is on and hit five kids or whether he should
switch temporarily to the closed track and hit the
only kid there?

94. Types of Decisions
• Programmed decision is
one that is fairly structured or
recurs with some frequency
(or both).
• Non-programmed decision
is one that is unstructured and
occurs much less often than a
programmed decision.
95. Programmed Decisions. .
Many decisions regarding
basic operating systems
and procedures and
organizational
standard
transactions
category.
McDonald’s
fall into this
employees are
Mac
according
trained to make the Big
to specific
procedures.
Starbucks, and many other
organizations, use programmed
decisions to purchase new
cups
supplies [coffee beans,
and napkins].
96. Nonprogrammed Decisions. ..
Most of the decisions made by
top managers involving strategy
and organization design are
nonprogrammed.
Decisions about mergers, acquisitions
and takeovers, new facilities, new
products, labor contracts and legal issues
are nonprogrammed decisions.
Managers faced with
nonprogrammed decisions must
treat each one as unique,
investing great amounts of time,
energy and resources into
exploring the situation from all
views.
Intuition and experience are
major factors in these decisions.
98. Decision Making Under Certainty
A State Of Certainty exists when a decision
maker knows, with reasonable certainty, what
the alternatives are and what conditions are
associated with each alternative.
Very few organizational decisions, however, are
made under these conditions.
The complex and turbulent environment in
which businesses exist rarely allows for such
decisions.
99. Decision Making Under Risk
A state of risk exists when a
decision maker makes decisions
under a condition in which the
availability of each alternative and
its potential payoffs and costs are
all associated with probability
estimate.
Decisions such as these are based
on past experiences, relevant
information, the advice of others
and one’s own judgment.
100. Decision is ‘calculated’
on the basis of which
alternative has the highest
probability of working
effectively. [union nego-
tiations, Porsche’s SUV
focus vs high-performance
sports cars]
101. Decision Making Under Uncertainty
A state of uncertainty exists when a decision
maker does not know all of the alternatives, the
risks associated with each, or the
consequences each alternative is likely to have.
Most of the major decision making in today’s
organizations is done under these conditions.
To make effective decisions under these
conditions, managers must secure as much
relevant information as possible and approach
the situation from a logical and rational view.
Intuition, judgment and experience always play
major roles in the decision- making process
under these conditions.
102. A View of Decision-Making Conditions
Level of ambiguity and chances of making a bad decision
Lower Moderate Higher
103. Improving Decision Making Through
Effective Knowledge Management
Systems and practices that increase
the sharing of knowledge and information
Types of knowledge
Implicit knowledge – intuition,
experience, natural abilities
Explicit knowledge
Explicit knowledge requires access to
large amounts of information; implicit
knowledge is obtained through
observation, mentoring, collaboration, etc.
104. General Decision Making Styles
Based on how one perceives and
comprehends stimuli and chooses to
respond
Value orientation – task and technical
concerns or people and social concerns
Tolerance for ambiguity – need of
structure or control
105. Decision-Making Process
• Decision-Making Process includes:
• recognizing and
defining the nature of a
decision situation
• identifying alternatives
• choosing the ‘best’
effective] alternative and
• putting it into practice.
106. Decision-Making Process. .
.(continued)
.
Sometimes effective decisions must be
made to:
•Optimize some set of factors such as
profits, sales, employee welfare and market
share or
•Minimize loss, expenses or employee
turnover or Select best method for going out
business,laying off a temployees, or
terminating strategic alliance
107. Decision-Making
Process. . .(continued)
Managers make both
Decisions about problem
(undesirable situations) and
Opportunitie(desirable situations).
Learning that the company has earned higher-
than-projected profits.
It may take a long time before a manager can
know for sure if the right decision was made.
110. The step by step method for taking
decisions
A decision maker should follow these
steps before taking decisions
Decision Making Process
111. Multi-criteria decision-making in general
follows six steps including,
(1) problem formulation,
(2) identify the requirements,
(3) set goals, (S.M.A.R.T.)
(4) identify various alternatives,
(5) develop criteria, and
(6) identify and apply decision-
making technique
(Sabaei, Erkoyuncu, & Roy, 2015)
112. Define the Problem
Gather facts and develop alternatives
Evaluate Alternatives
Select the best alternative.
Implement the chosen Alternative
Follow up and evaluate the chosen
alternative.
The Decision Making Process
113. Identify The Problem
Problem :
A discrepancy / diffrence between an
existing and desired state of affairs
Characteristic
There is a pressure to solve the problem.
The manager must have the authority,
information, or resources needed to
solve the problem.
Manager becomes aware of it.
114.
115. Decision criteria are factors that are
important ( relevant) to resolving the
problem.
Costs that will be incurred (investment
required).
Risks likely to be encountered ( chance of
failure).
Outcomes that are desired ( growth of the
firm).
Identify The Decision Criteria
116. Decision criteria are not of equal
importance:
Assigning a weight to each item.
Places the items in the correct
priority order of their importance in
the decision making process.
Allocating Weights to the Criteria
117. The rating should range from 1= less importance and 5= high importance. Then,
add these rates under each criterion in the table. The figure below shows that the
competency got 3, cost= 4, viability=5, desirability= 4, and alignment=2.
118. In this example, we will name the ideas (Idea 1,
2,3…etc.), and set the evaluation criteria to the
following:
•Competency refers to how the new product
competes in the market
•Cost refers to the cost required to adopt the
new idea
•Viability determines if the idea is applicable in
real life
•Desirability refers to how the consumer will
accept and interact with the new idea
•Alignment refers to how the idea aligns with
the company production strategy
120. Calculate the weighted rate for each option (idea)
Idea A weight = criteria rank X idea score

125. What criteria can be used for judging the appropriateness of
alternatives?
Criteria are given below;
•Cost: Cost is a factor that plays an important part. Keep into
consideration thisparameter to run a smooth case study.
•Authenticity: Make sure that the whole alternative you are selecting is
credible and authentic or not. This will prevent the onset of future
problems.
•Balance and dependability: Will alternative work in unfortunate
circumstances? Search for this answer while choosing alternatives.
126. •Riskiness:Never use an alternativethatinvolves highrisk. A high
risked alternative can destroy the whole case study.
•Safeguard: Try to go for a conclusion thatwill work even if some
of its components fail.
•Flexibilityand resilience:If the alternative is good enoughto
accomplish more thanone goal, go for it.
Criteria are givenbelow……contd….
127. •Durability:Make sure thatthe alternative you are selectingwill
succeed in multiplesituations.
•Merit: Prefer an alternativethatticks allthe boxes. Don’t assume
anything.It’ll ruin your whole work.
•Compatibility:Screen an alternativethatis easy by following
norms and procedures.
•Communicability: An alternative that is easy to understand will be
preferred in the case study. This is acharacteristic that is highly
recommendable.
Criteria are given below……contd….
128. Evaluate And Choose Among
Alternative Solutions
Feasibility
Acceptability
Costs
Ethics
Quantitative or qualitative
approaches
Forecast the result
129. Choosing the best alternative
The alternative with the highest total
weight is chosen.
The best alternative is the one that
produces the most advantages and the
fewest serious disadvantages.
Sometimes, the optimal solution is a
combination of several alternatives.
Selecting The Alternative
130. Implement And Monitor The Chosen
Solution
Reveals its effectiveness and
significance in achieving the desired
goals
Depends on careful planning and
sensitivity
To ensure that the alternative put into
action is moving towards the objectives
Confirms that the organization goals
have been achieved.
131. Decision Making Process
Always continuous & dynamics
It is not only a process and also a
practice
A good decision maker will be the good
manager
Be a best decision maker.., Be a best

139. 9-9
1. Set minimum targets for performance, and have
decision makers compare their performance with
these targets.
2. Have different individuals make the initial and
subsequent decisions about a project.
3. Encourage decision makers to become less ego-
involved with a project.
4. Provide more frequent feedback about
project completion and costs.
5. Reduce the risk of penalties of failure.
6. Make decision makers aware of the
costs of persistence.

140. 9-10
1. Preparation: Reflects the notion that creativity starts from
a base of knowledge.
2. Concentration: Where an individual concentrates on the
problem at hand.
3. Incubation: Done unconsciously. During this stage, people
engage in daily activities while their minds simultaneously
consider over information and make remote associations.
4. Illumination: Remote associations from the incubation
stage are ultimately generated.
5. Verification: Entails going through the entire process
to verify, modify, or try out the new idea.
Stages Underlying the Creative
Process
143. Individual Decision Making
Individual has a
tendency to
think and
question before
performing.
Individual decisions
are more focused
and rational com-
pared to group.
144. Advantages of Individual Decision
Making
1. Individuals generally make prompt decisions
– Group is dominated by various people,
making decision-making very time
consuming.
– Assembling group members consumes lot of
time.
2. Individuals do not escape responsibilities
– They are accountable for their acts and
performance.
– In a group, it is not easy to hold any one
person accountable for a wrong decision.
3. Individual decisions are more focused and
145. DISDVANTAGES OF INDIVIDUAL
DECISION MAKING
Groups are more potential of collecting
information compared to an individual
while making decisions.
Groups have many members, many views
and many approaches and hence better
decision making.
Groups discover hidden talent and core
competency of employees of an
organization.
Groups will take into account interests of
all members, unlike individuals.
147. Group Decision-making
Data suggests that innovative groups
possessed high levels of both minority
disagreement and participation in decision making
Note four requirements of effective decision
making in a group:
Focus on process
Understand requirements for an effective choice
Assess positive qualities of alternative solutions
Assess negative qualities of alternative solutions
Suggests openness, acceptance of
disagreement?

153. More Formal Group
Problem Solving Techniques
Brainstorming - disciplined process
Silent idea (optional)
Ideas/opinions solicited / be sought and
written on a board, disallowing
criticisms, allowing piggy-backing on
ideas, clarification
Delphi technique is another, more formal form
of brainstorming. Involves several rounds of
questionnaire, feedback, etc. Useful in cases
where participants are not in the same place.
154. More Formal Group Problem

Nominal Group Technique – used to
narrow down options through voting
Computer-aided Decision Making
Uses computers to manage brainstorming

157. Behavioral Aspects of Decision Making
• Sometimes decision making must
reflect subjective considerations
(tastes, etc.)
• Other behavioral aspects
include: political forces,
intuition, escalation of
commitment, risk
propensity / tendency
and ethics.
158. Bounded rationality
suggests that decision
makers are limited by their
values and unconscious
reflexes, skills and habits.
[American vs foreign
automakers]
159. Behavioral
Aspects. . .
(continued)
The Administrative Model
of Decision Making
Herbert A Simon, a Nobel Prize
winner in Economics, developed
the model to describe how decisions
are often made rather than to prescribe
how they should be made.
Argues that decision makers have
incomplete and imperfect infor -mation,
are constrained by ‘bounded
rationality’ and tend to ‘satisfice’
when making decisions.
160. Behavioral
Aspects
Satisficing is the tendency to
search for alternatives only
until one is found that meets
some minimum standard of
sufficiency.
Rather than conducting an
exhaustive search for the best
possible alternative, decision
makers tend to search only
until they identify an
alternative that meets some
minimum standard of
sufficiency.
161. The Administrative Model of
Decision Making
When faced with a
decision situation
managers
actually…
Use incomplete and
imperfect Information.
Are constrained by
bounded rationality.
Tend to satisfice…
...and end up
with a decision
that may or
may not serve
the interests of
the
organization.
162. The Classical Model
attempts to explain how
managers can at least
attempt to be more rational
and logical in their
approach to decisions.
The Administrative Model
can be used by managers
to develop a better under-
standing of their inherent
biases and limitations.
163. Behavioral Aspects.
. . (continued)
Bounded rationality
suggests that decision
makers are limited by
their values and
unconscious reflexes,
skills and habits.
164. Behavioral Forces Influencing Decisions
Political Forces in Decision Making
Coalition -.
Which is the best definition of a coalition?
-One major element of politics, coalitions, is especially
relevant to decision making. A coalition isan informal
allianceof individuals or groups formed to achieve a
common goal. _____ are decision-makinggroups or
teams in which members openly discuss, argue about,
and agree on the best alternative.
Impact of a
coalition may be
positive or
negative.
165. Behavioral Forces Influencing Decisions
Intuition – is an innate belief about
something, without conscious
consideration.
Deciding to do something because it ‘feels
right’ or one has a ‘hunch’.
Feeling is based on years of experience
and practice in making decisions in
similar situations; may help managers
make occasional decisions without going
through an a-to-z process.
168. Behavioral Forces Influencing Decisions
Growth / Increase /
Escalation of
Commitment – occurs
when a decision maker
stays with a decision even
when it appears to be wrong.
[Pan Am holdings]
Decision makers must guard
against sticking too long with
an incorrect decision.
However, managers should
not ‘bail out’ of a seemingly
incorrect decision too soon.
169. Behavioral Forces Influencing Decisions
Risk Propensity –
the extent to which a
decision maker is
willing to gamble when
making a decision.
Organizational culture
is a prime ingredient
in encouraging
different levels of risk.
170. Behavioral Forces Influencing Decisions
Ethics
Managerial ethics involves
a wide variety of decisions:
Relationships of the firm to its
employee (closing a department
to save money).
Relationship of employees
to the firm
Relationships of the firm to
other economic agents

197. THE ART OF EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKING
THE CLASSIC FIVE STEPS APPROACH TO
DECISION MAKING
Step – 5 Implement and Evaluation
Step – 3 General feasible options
Step – 2 Collect relevant Information
Step – 1 Define the objective
Step – 4 Select the best alternative.
198. Contd. . . . . . . . THE ART OF EFFECTIVE DECISIONMAKING
DEFINE THE OBJECTIVE
Do you know what you are trying to
achieve ? You do need to be clear – or as
clear as possible – about where you want
to get to. Otherwise the whole process of
decision making is obscured in a cloud. As
the proverb says,
If you do not know what part you are
heading for, any wind is the right wind.
199. COLLECT RELEVANT INFORMATION
The next skill is concerned with collecting and
sifting relevant information. Some of it will be
immediately apparent, but other data may be
missing. It is a good principle not to make decisions
in the absence of critically important information that
is not immediately to hand, provided that a planned
delay is acceptable.
Remember the distinction between available and
relevant information. Some thinkers do not, however,
look at the information at their disposal and ask
themselves, ‘Is this relevant ?’ Instead they wonder,
‘How can I use it ?’ They are confusing two kinds of
information.

Contd…..COLLECT RELEVENT
INFORMATION
Life would be much simpler if you could
just use the information at your disposal,
rather than that which you really need to
make the decision ! So often quantities of
data are advanced – there are acres of it
on the internet – that merely add bulk to,
say, a management report without giving
its recommendations any additional
weight.
201. GENERAL FEASIBLE OPTIONS
Notice the word options rather than
alternatives.
An alternative is literally one of two courses
open. Decision makers who lack skill tend to
jump far too quickly to the either or alternatives.
They do not give enough time an mental energy
to generating at least three or four possibilities.
As a Major in the says to his men, ‘You can be
sure that if the enemy has only two courses of
action open to him, he will choose the third.’

MAKE THE DECISION
The critical preliminary activity here is
to establish the selection criteria. It is
worth dividing them into different
levels of priority.
MUST
SHOULD
MIGHT
203. Contd. . . . . . . . THE ART OF EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKING
Contd……..MAKE THE DECISION
Unless an option meets the MUST
requirements you should discard it. But after
the essentials have been satisfied, the list of
desirables – highly desirable SHOULDs or
pleasant addition MIGHTs – comes into play.
Choosing a car is a relatively simple case,
because there is a finite number of models to
choose from and a relatively SIMPLE LIST
OF CRITERIA.
204. In order to help you choose in more complex cases,
remember that you can make a decision by :
Listing the advantages and
disadvantages,
Examining the consequences of each
course,
Testing the proposed course against the
yardstick of your aim or objective,
Weighting the risks against the expected
gains.
MAKE A SIMPLE LIST OF CRITERIA.
205. Contd. . . . . . . . THE ART OF EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKING
IMPLEMENT AND EVALUATE
Decision comes from a Latin verb
meaning ‘to cut off’. It is related to such
cutting words as ‘scissors’ and ‘incision’.
What is ‘cut off’ when you make a decision
is the preliminary activity of thinking,
especially the business of weighing up the
pros and cons of the various courses of
action. You now move into the action
phases.
Not to decide is to decide
206. The Decision should be seen as part of the
overall process. You may hardly notice the
actual point of decision, just as passengers
on a ship may be asleep when their ship
crosses the equator line. The ‘cut off’ point,
be it conscious or unconscious, is when
thinking ends – your mind is made up – and
you move into the action or implementation
phase. But you are still evaluating the
decision, and up to the Point of No Return
(PNR), you can always turn back if the early
signs dictate.
207. SHARING DECISIONS WITH OTHERS
A key issue in leadership is how far the
designated leader should share decisions
with others. Before looking together at the
decision making aspect of leadership let me
put it in context by reminding you of the generic
role of leader true for all fields of work and all
levels of leadership. If you look closely at
matters involving leadership, there are always
three elements or variables :
208. the leader – qualities of personality
and character
the situation – partly constant, partly
varying
the group – the followers their needs
and values

TASK NEEDS
Work groups and organizations come
into being because there is a task to be
done that is too big for one person. You
can climb a hill or small mountain by
yourself, but you cannot climb Mount
Everest on your own – you need a team
for that.
211. TEAM MAINTENANCE NEEDS
This is not so easy to perceive as the task
need, as with an iceberg, much of the life of any
group lies below the surface. The distinction
that the task need concerns things and the
second need involves people does not help
much.

212. Contd.. TEAM MAINTENANCE NEED
Again, it is best to think of groups that
are threatened from without by forces
aimed at their disintegration or from within
by disruptive people or ideas. We can then
see how they give priority to maintaining
themselves against these external or
internal pressures, sometimes showing
great ingenuity in the process.
Instinctively a common feeling exists that
‘United we stand, divided we fall’ , that good
relationship, desirable in themselves, are
also an essential means towards the shared
213. Contd. . . . . SHARING DECISIONS WITH OTHERS
INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
Third, individuals bring into the group
their own needs – not just the physical
ones for food and shelter (which are
largely catered for by the payment of
wages these days) but also the
psychological ones, recognition, a sense
of doing something worthwhile, status and
the deeper needs to give to and receive
from other people in a working situation.
These individual needs are perhaps more
profound that we sometimes realize.
214. They spring from the depths of our common
life as human beings. They may attract us to,
or repel us from, any given group. Underlying
them all is the fact that people need one
another not just to survive but to achieve and
develop personality.

215. HOW TO GENERATE IDEAS
When you are struck in problem solving –
that is when the techniques you have
applied successfully in the past are not
working – try a more creative thinking
approach. You may be trying to dig the
same hole deeper, worrying at your
problem like a terrier, when perhaps you
should be digging you hole somewhere
else.
