Facts and intuition are false opposites. Leaders should listen to their intuition and instincts and allow others to do the same because they are sub-conscious, fast ways of processing, aggregating and then accessing evidence to reach a swift conclusion. Trust your gut.

About This Quote

When you think of intuition, there are many things that come to mind. For instance, intuition is the ability to know without knowing. It is the ability to make decisions quickly and accurately based on your gut feeling or gut instinct. It is the belief that something is true without having all the facts.

There are many types of intuition, some based on facts and others based on your experience; however, the most important type of intuition is your sub-conscious. Your sub-conscious is a part of your mind that processes information most fast and efficiently, but it is also one of your most powerful sources for making decisions.
