Just my thoughts #0770

In our society, there are accepted ways to communicate messages. Messages that don’t follow this format are often rejected or ignored by the public. If CEOs or politicians don’t understand this communication format and fail to deliver their messages effectively, people won’t understand them, which can harm the relationship. Meetings like those of accounting, the board of directors, and general shareholders meetings are examples of these communication formats. We need to learn the correct format first so we can express ourselves clearly. You could attend a swimming competition in a suit, but since it would seem funny, a leader must understand this formality well to be effective. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0039

The Anchoring Heuristic In 1974, Tversky and Kahneman divided two groups and asked one group to calculate the value of "8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1" and the other group to answer the question "1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8" immediately. The average calculation result of the first group was 2,250, and that of the second group was 512. For both groups, the original answer is 40,320, which is the same. Although they multiplied by the same number, the first group multiplied by the order of the larger number, resulting in a higher baseline adjustment, while the second group did the opposite. When we judge and make decisions, the reference point determines the extent and direction of our illusion. When we live, we have to deal with these fallible human beings. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
