Too Many Leaders Still Rely on Their ‘Golden Gut’

still know some entrepreneurs who boast of simply following their gut instincts, rather than listen to anyone or any data, to make strategic decisions. We’ve all worked with autocratic leaders in large companies who seem to thrive in this mode. They all forget or ignore the high-profile failures that have resulted from some single-handed business decisions.

A very informative post! It's true that the trend is toward group decision making and coordinated teamwork in business. Aside from my work I'm studying IS Management at college, and it's a cohort based curriculum with deliverables including business plans, IT proposals, etc. rather than homework. It's a complete reversal of the typical college experience, and it's meant to emulate the trends you mention in your post. It's the wave of the future! Thanks for the great post.
