Abstract
“I’ll have time for feelings after I’m dead. Right now, we’re busy.” - Michael Griffin (2006), former Administrator of NASA
Many people believe, as Griffin does, that judgment and decision making (JDM) should be devoid of emotion. Managers who share this belief risk misunderstanding the basis of their decisions and the decisions of those around them. Overlooking emotion will result in missed opportunities not only to correct biases, but also to use emotions as tools to improve decision making.
