'In today''s fast-paced and hyperconnected global economy, leaders are pressured to make multiple decisions and do so quickly. . In such an volatile environment, leaders tend not to take the time to reflect and use sound judgment; the result is hurried decisions that lead to poor outcomes for themselves and their organization. In particular, some leaders tend to decide instinctively based primarily on their own experience, without paying enough attention to the changes in the larger context.
