DESCRIPTION:
From this research, he and his associates have developed a theory of "naturalistic decision-making."Sources of Power essentially lends the validity of scientific research to techniques that many of us use every day. Nobody is born with an inherent mastery of these and other techniques, Klein tells us, but we are all born with the capability to develop, through experience, the skill sets experts call upon to make good decisions. . There's intuition, which is based not on instantaneous insight but on the rapid (perhaps even subconscious) interpretation of perceptual cues. Gary Klein studies decision-making in the field, tagging along with firefighters, standing by in intensive-care units, and watching chess masters play lightning-fast "blitz" gam

Anyone who watches the television news has seen images of firefighters rescuing people from burning buildings and paramedics treating bombing victims. Each chapter builds on key incidents and examples to make the description of the methodology and phenomena more vivid. How do these individuals make the split-second decisions that save lives?

His Decisions Are Out There Gary Klein is a cognitive psychologist who has "gone native," shifting his focus from the laboratory to the messy world of firefighters, tank commanders, and other naturalistic decision makers. Their work environments are defined by "time pressure, high stakes, e. Whether intentionally or not, Klein rebukes the attitude of B. Taylor Whether intentionally or not, Klein rebukes the attitude of indifference (and sometimes outright disdain) that some organizations, and perhaps society at large, exhibit with respect to experience in the work force.
