Discussion Forum

How are critical thinking and decision making related? Identify and discuss at least 3 heuristic decision-making strategies for leaders.

1. Are leaders thinking critically when we use heuristics in strategic decision making? Explain your answer.
2. Practical Application: Describe a decision a leader that you are familiar with has recently made. The decision can be of a personal or professional nature.
