Experts suggest ways to strengthen decision-making skills
Support may not always be available for decisions in education, work or personal life, says a report, noting that decision-making is not an inborn skill and can be learned by anyone at any age. It stresses self-belief, reviewing past decisions and taking time instead of rushing — an approach called 'cognitive reflection', which a recent study links to better decisions. A Wharton Business School study calls reading others key to discretion, while an Indiana University study says observing others improves bias-free decision-making.
