061: Anniversary Episode (Part 5): Instinctive Decision Making

I am joined by Dr Tremaine du Preez, author of 'Decide' and Decision Scientist and Kevin O'Leary former Head of Covert Policing for the Metropolitan Police and Hostage Negotiator. We discuss 'Instinctive Decision Making' with my studio guests Keith Douglas and Dr Katie Best.
It's the job of the police to be 'professionally curious' however what is the science behind the coppers hunch? 
Tremaine outlines Somatic Markers and how feelings in our body that are associated with emotions provide our 'gut instincts'. Should we rely on them? How do we navigate fast and slow thinking? 
As we move away from the global pandemic, leaders need to start to 'think big thoughts' and distribute the authority and empowerment for others to make decisions who are closest to the issue. If we want 'decision agility' it's not enough to just ask people to make better decisions, we need to equip them with the tools for success.
