Abstract: | The article investigates how decision makers manage complex situations by combining rational analysis with intuition. A study of 19 oil company CEOs is the source of data. The analysis identifies two processes that the most effective CEOs use: integration by essentials (IBE) and spiralling. Besides using these two processes, the effective CEOs seemed to share three thinking-related traits: focus, motivation and self-awareness. Implications for effective decision making are presented in the conclusion. |
