How Well Do Executives Trust Their Intuition

In this age of Big Data and analytics, knowledge gained through experiential learning and intuition may be taking a back seat to analytics. However, the use of intuition should not be underestimated and should play an important role in the decision process.

How Well Do Executives Trust Their Intuition covers the Fulbright research study conducted by this international team of editors. The main question of their investigation is: How well do executives trust their intuition? In other words, do they typically prefer intuition over analysis and analytics. And equally importantly, what types of intuition may be most favorable looking at different variables? The research utilizes survey and biometrics approaches with C-level executives from Canada, U.S., Poland, and Italy.

In addition, the book contains chapters from leading executives in industry, academia, and government. Their insights provide examples of how their intuition enabled key decisions that they made.

This book covers such topics as:

• Using intuition
• How gender, experience, role, industry, and country affect intuition
• Trust and intuition in management
• Trusting intuition
• It's a matter of heart
• Leadership intuition and the future of work
• Creating an intuitive awareness for executives
• Improvisation and instinct.

The book explores how executives can use intuition to guide decision making. It also explains how to trust intuition-based decisions. How Well Do Executives Trust Their Intuition is a timely and prescient reminder in this age of data-driven analytics that human insight, instinct, and intuition should also play key roles.

在這個大數據和分析的時代，透過經驗學習和直覺獲得的知識可能正在被分析所取代。然而，直覺的使用不應被低估，並且應在決策過程中扮演重要角色。

《高階主管對直覺的信任程度如何》是由這個國際編輯團隊進行的富布萊特研究。他們的調查主要問題是：高階主管對自己的直覺有多少信任？換句話說，他們通常更偏好直覺還是分析和數據分析。同樣重要的是，不同變數下哪種類型的直覺可能最有利？該研究使用了調查和生物測量學的方法，對來自加拿大、美國、波蘭和意大利的高階主管進行了研究。

此外，該書還包含了來自行業、學術界和政府的領先高階主管的章節。他們的見解提供了他們如何依靠直覺做出關鍵決策的例子。

本書涵蓋了以下主題：
- 使用直覺
- 性別、經驗、角色、行業和國家如何影響直覺
- 管理中的信任和直覺
- 信任直覺
- 這是一個關於心的問題
- 領導直覺和未來的工作
- 為高階主管創造直覺意識
- 即興和本能。

本書探討了高階主管如何使用直覺指導決策。它還解釋了如何信任基於直覺的決策。《高階主管對直覺的信任程度如何》在這個數據驅動分析的時代提醒我們，人類的洞察力、本能和直覺也應該扮演關鍵角色。
