“A simple rule can help: before an issue is discussed, all members of the committee should be asked to write a very brief summary of their position.

The standard practice of open discussion gives too much weight to the opinions of those who speak early and assertively, causing others to line up behind them.”

“Mood evidently affects the operation of System 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition.
These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster. At the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.”
