Leadership And Intuition
By Toni Lynn Chinoy
Are many of our current leaders missing a key ingredient to enhance and optimize their abilities to handle complex situations?
It Isn’t Working
We have too much data available to pursue old decision models. We must remember that an algorithm for determining an outcome is still dependent on the human or humans who write it. Our current financial crisis is evidence of a serious over-dependency on mathematical formula and sophisticated models for predicting outcomes.
If we can assume for a moment that identifying the correct mathematical model for finding our way out of our current financial mess will be not just elusive, but impossible, then what are our options?
We could perhaps, allow events to unfold until the solutions become clear. It seems that allowing things to unfold could be a very painful process. Intervening, however, without clarity, as we seem to be doing now, also provides the very real possibility of making things worse.
What’s Missing?
We have neglected an extremely important

facet of preparing our leaders for more thoughtful and far-sighted decision making. Our educational system is skewed toward a heavy reliance on linear, left-brained thinking. Can we improve our education of leaders to include right-brained, intuitive thinking?
The first question might be, would a leader who had a highly evolved intuitive ability have a stronger potential for making better decisions in a confusing time such as the present?
Imagine that when presented with two or more options, an intuitive leader could identify which path had the higher potential for success. Imagine this same leader could see pitfalls to a path that seemed from an analytical point of view, much more appealing. Consider an intuitive leader’s ability to see through deception and self promoting agendas which might be well presented as analytically fool proof ideas. In other words, our Leader would not be taken in by flawlessly presented, analytic arguments for action. He or she would simply “feel” that something was out of place and would relentlessly pursue the basis for that feeling.
A well educated leader would never simply depend on his or her intuition. Instead he or she would use intuition to identify where to look when the solutions were unclear. The intuitive leader would then validate his or her “gut” assumptions to create a workable and easily defended resolution.
Developing Intuitive calls for a curriculum in critical thinking along with intuitive skill building. Intuition goes beyond an ability to “see” things which are not visible. Intuitive includes problem solving, identifying optimal solutions, and evolving levels of communication unavailable to the more linear, logical approaches which we have learned to revere.
