32. Taking The Emotion Out Of It

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing personal opinion." - Proverbs 18:2 Today we talk about the difference between emotion driven decision making and critical thinking-based decision making. We talk about the pros and cons of "going with your gut", how leaders and successful entrepreneurs can make better decisions through critical thinking, receiving constructive criticism, self awareness, and understanding your own personality. If you want to be taken seriously, a willingness to learn and becoming more educated before speaking and making decisions are important aspects of a successful leader. In our emotion drive culture, many people take that mindset into business, and believe their feelings are the most important driver in their decisions.    Books Discussed:  The Tech-Wise Family Never Split The Difference  Movie Discussed:  The Social Dilemma   -- Help us fight Human Trafficking by supporting Exodus Road and giving to the Storehouse Giving Fund here: https://mygiving.secure.force.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0U0H00000b2IqEUAU Do us a favor and leave us a review!
