\u2018Thinking, Fast and Slow,\u2019 by Daniel Kahneman is a highly recommended reading to anyone including leaders and aspiring leaders. He talked about the two ways in which our brain works, \u201cSystem 1 and System 2. System 1 operates automatically and quickly, with little or no effort of voluntary control. System 2 allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it, including complex computation. The operations of system 2 are often associated with the subjective experience of agency, choice, and concentration.\u201d [<\/em>1]<\/a> It is within these two systems that affect each individual on a daily basis. It describes how we make decisions, judgements, or even errors, though it seem to be sound decisions or judgments in the first place.<\/p>\n

2017) [2]<\/a> in his article, \u2018What I learned from \u201cThinking Fast and Slow,\u201d described system 1 as \u2018gut-reaction\u2019 way of thinking and making decisions, while system 2 as the \u201ccritical thinking\u201d means of decision makings. He went on to say that it is within System 1 that individuals tend to assume\/ or jump to conclusions because of the first impressions made. And on the other hand, System 2 more problem-solving and analysis is involved due to the unavailability of sufficient information.<\/p>\n

History is filled with decisions that had major implications. 2019) [3]<\/a> shared about some decisions that altered World History. A few of them are as follows: (1.) Martin Luther King improvised \u2018I Have a Dream\u2019: King was ready to deliver the prepared speech, however, when the Mahalia Jackson (gospel singer) whom was in the audience yelled out, \u2018tell \u2018em about the dream,\u201d King improvised, and was speaking from the heart without the notes and delivered the \u2018I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH\u2019. (2.) President T. Roosevelt Campaign Speech: In 1912, before delivering his 50-page campaign speech, he randomly decided to put it in his breast pocket, a decision that saved his life. An assailant shot him in the chest and the bullet was deterred by amount of paper in his pocket. And (3.) The Tragedy of Titanic: David Blair, second officer was detained from the ship before it went on the tragic voyage; he forgot to hand over the keys to a locker that contained the binoculars the crews use to watch for icebergs. Unfortunately, the crews can\u2019t see the iceberg.<\/p>\n

To think fast and\/or to think slow for leaders is essential in decision making as the followers look to the leaders for guidance. Therefore, it is a must to remember that our brain uses 2 different thinking system for two different purposes, and both are essential in decision making. To think fast intuitively when necessary and to think slowly and steadily in problem-solving situations.<\/p>\n
