How can you ensure that you make decisions based on facts and evidence, not emotions or biases?

For every business decision, it is needed analytics (data and results), in order to provide a reasoned and substantiated response. Without information, people will be just deciding based on their instincts and not objective criteria.

This one Hurts. I often use whiteboards and have thinking sessions, and they are excellent. But the truth is that we always have to sit back down after gathering the data. Good intentions, but the data often speaks louder. For instance, with Facebook ads, every time I think I know what my target audience wants and create an ad similar to the others that have worked, BOOM—terrible returns. Even if I followed all the rules, it just didn't cut it. and it's not worth it to try to prove the data wrong. My gut feeling always reigns supreme, but the data is 1a.

There is a thin line between being guided by the data and being a victim of it. The data is only as good as your ideas and interpretation of it. So, while the data may say one thing, double-check that you tested adequately before deciding. But make sure you make a decision. That is what is most important.

This is Where you Adjust if needed. whatever your metric for success is, follow that. Make sure to have strategy sessions. No idea is "stupid"; all comments are welcome. difference of opinions will be discussed as well. Good intent is what matters. you will often come out with a great start or an actual game plan. Be sure to have a go-to whom you trust to give you honest feedback. iterate and take action.

Learn to challenge your own assumptions. As Adam Grant says in "Think Again", think like a scientist. Through seeking out all perspectives on a decision, it can truly be an informed decision.

La toma de decisiones basadas en hechos y evidencias, en lugar de emociones o prejuicios, es crucial para garantizar resultados efectivos y éticos en el trabajo. Desarrolla tu capacidad de pensamiento crítico para analizar la información y tomar decisiones basadas en lógica y ética. Reconoce tus propias emociones y prejuicios al tomar decisiones. Practica la autoconciencia y el control emocional para evitar que tus sentimientos influyan en el proceso de toma de decisiones.

Pay attention to emotional regulation. It involves recognizing and managing one's emotions effectively. By cultivating awareness and mindfulness, individuals can identify triggers and respond to emotions in a more balanced manner. This process often involves challenging negative thoughts, expressing emotions appropriately, and prioritizing self-care activities. Developing problem-solving skills and seeking support when needed are also integral to mastering emotional regulation. With practice and patience, individuals can enhance their ability to regulate emotions, leading to greater emotional well-being and resilience.
