DECISION MAKING
Damasio(2005) summarized the prevalent model as ‘ the supposedly
clear process of deriving logical consequences from assumed premises,
the business of making reliable inferences, which, unencumbered by
passion, allow us to choose the best possible option, leading to the best
possible outcome, given the worst possible problem
Decision - making is thus characterized as essentially problem - solving
and so is seen as an exercise in logic
BUT … Emotion plays a huge part in decision - making and consequently
in performance

EMOTIONS IN DECISION-MAKING
feelings are an important source of information in effective decision -
making.
Emotions from the past affect the degree of aversion and attraction of
different possible options now.
Indeed, they affect whether or not various options even surface into
consciousness.
Emotions and feelings affect our decision - making in other ways too

BENEFITS OF POSITIVEEMOTIONS ON DECISION MAKING
Appreciative Inquiry is also concerned with the creation of positive
emotion, recognizing positive emotion as a source of energy for change.
Isen’s (2005) and Fredrickson ’ s (2005) work on positive emotions and
positivity have illuminated the many beneficial effects of ‘ feeling good ’ .

MICRO - DECISION- MAKING
In organizations a lot of emphasis is put on the big set - piece decision - making
forums that are meetings. However, people make decisions together in many informal
ways.
Gittell (2003) has examined decision - making in informal contexts, asking what
affects the effectiveness of the decisions made
two distinguishing criteria the coordination around the work becomes much easier.
Such are the presence, or absence, of high quality communication and high quality
relationships
relational coordination enhances localized, problem - focused decision - making that
helps with work performance and productivity

MOVING FROM
DECISION- MAKINGTO
SENSE- MAKING
The process of mistake avoidance and correction in inherently risk - heavy
organizations (Weick and Sutcliffe, 2007)
Research into teams of people who successful negotiate such fragile situations
reveals a complexity of thought
They manage to take risks and be cautious, to demonstrate intimacy and detachment,
aggressiveness and surrender, repetition and improvization, intuition and deliberation,
curiosity and timidity.
at different times each of these values may be the most valuable
