1 What are decision-making blind spots?

Decision-making blind spots are cognitive or emotional factors that distort your decision-making process and prevent you from seeing the full picture or considering all the alternatives. Some examples of decision-making blind spots are confirmation bias, overconfidence, anchoring, framing, and sunk cost fallacy. These blind spots can make you ignore relevant information, rely too much on your intuition, stick to your initial assumptions, focus on the wrong aspects, or continue with a failing course of action.

2 Why are decision-making blind spots harmful?

Decision-making blind spots can have negative consequences for your personal and professional goals, as well as for the people and organizations you work with. They can cause you to miss opportunities, waste resources, damage relationships, and make poor choices that can affect your reputation, performance, and satisfaction. Moreover, decision-making blind spots can also create a feedback loop that reinforces your biases and errors, making it harder to learn from your mistakes and improve your decision-making skills.

3 How can you identify decision-making blind spots?

Recognizing that you have decision-making blind spots and understanding how they can influence your decisions is the first step to address them. To do this, become more aware of your own thinking patterns, emotions, and motivations, and challenge your assumptions and beliefs. Additionally, ask yourself critical questions to identify blind spots, such as what are the alternatives, risks, assumptions, evidence, and goals. For further insight, seek feedback from people with different perspectives than you and use frameworks and models such as SWOT analysis or cost-benefit analysis to structure your decision-making process and evaluate options objectively.

Question what the data you have in front of you is really telling you. If everything looks good in all areas but one, don't discount it. Learn to understand why the data is presenting as such. It may uncover existing processes that skew the data which becomes a non-issue. Or it may uncover a systemic problem that needs to be addressed. Questioning the data may help you find blind spots as well.

Once you have identified your decision-making blind spots, you can take steps to reduce their impact and improve your decision-making quality. Adopting a growth mindset, which involves being open to learning, changing, and improving, is essential.

5 How can you improve your decision-making feedback?

To address decision-making blind spots and enhance your decision-making skills, seeking and using feedback effectively is key. Feedback can help you learn from successes and failures, recognize strengths and weaknesses, and identify potential opportunities and challenges. However, it is important to be aware that some blind spots, such as confirmation bias, overconfidence, or defensiveness, can distort feedback. To make the most of feedback, you should ask for it regularly from different sources with specific questions. Listen to feedback actively with an open mind and gratitude. And act on feedback appropriately by reflecting on it, applying it, and following up on it.

The knee jerk answer is ALWAYS wrong. Even when correct, it sends the signal that you didn't analyze the issue enough. In operations there are usually two options; do it, or don't do it. For each viable option, weigh the benefit/reward level to its hazard/risk level. The option with the best ratio usually sticks out like a sore thumb. In a non-emergency, consider taking time to do a similar analysis.
