By considering how your judgment may be wrong, you might come up with an overlooked reason and change your mind.

Whether it is you, your customer, or a colleague, assess without judgment or you may end up as the one being judged.

…an unfixed mind free of biases, preconceptions, judgments, criticisms, and expectations is therefore alive and awake to wonder, observe, process, and innovate. – Shunryu Suzuki

If all you do is work, you’re unlikely to have sound judgments. Your values and decision making wind up skewed. You stop being able to decide what’s worth the extra effort and what’s not. And you wind up just plain tired. No one makes sharp decisions when tired.

…the only true balance ever achieved is in our minds and how we judge ourselves on the choices we make.

It is useful to remember… that neglecting valid stereotypes inevitably results in suboptimal judgments.

…there are few circumstances under which it is a good idea to substitute judgment for a formula.

Whatever else is produced, an organization is a factor that manufactures judgments and decisions.

…a range of studies show that the best judgment and problem solving incorporates emotion. In fact, if emotion is entirely ignored in the decision-making equation, the results can be surprisingly harmful.

…by being data-driven we remove the emotions and overconfidence about making decisions that can sometimes cloud our judgment.
