Learning to respect SNAP judgements in decision making
Adopted from the following great insight shared by Malcolm Gladwell from the book BLINK exposes us to the power of snap judgements
“We live in a world that assumes that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it…We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible an depending as much time as possible in deliberation.
