Sporting governance in an accelerating world

In this essay, the first in the series, Dr Alan Watkins shares his thoughts on decision making drawn from his experience both as a physician and neuroscientist and as a leadership development consultant.

Alan looks at the impact on decision making of two factors that usually go unrecognised: emotion and physiology, considering how these affect our decisions and performance. He then turns to the evolution of decision making in groups, offering a series of stages of development against which readers can assess their own organisations and decision making forums.
