    Most of the millennia that humans have been on earth, we needed to be able to make decisions at the crack of a twig in the woods. Fire fighters, police officers, soldiers still need this trained, experienced, adrenalin based quick-fire decision process.

    It’s a lousy approach though for most decisions that we face, especially policy and strategy decisions. One would think after eight painful years of skip-the-homework, quick-fire, shoot-from-the-hip, I’m the decider and I listen to my gut, we’d have learned something about effective decision-making and the costs of its absence.

    (I’m addressing the speed issue here, as does the cartoonist, not the decision-making process itself, which we don’t know much about from the information available.)
