4. How to work around intuition during decision making
Intuition or a gut feeling is something which cannot be explained scientifically. These come with experience, in-depth knowledge and understanding of the subject. When to defy all data and take a decision which you are strong about? These skills are tested more during the times of recession. It depends on the leaders' ability of speculating the future, projecting different possible scenarios and understanding what is at stake. 5. Work-life balance:
B-schools will teach you how to change the world, the consumer, the organization, the works, but not how to maintain a balance between your work and personal life. In between the joy of clinching a deal or a market share point gained, you should not forget the joy of watching your child grow up or spending time with your loved ones. A proper understanding and following of work-life balance can ensure you both.
