Decisions, decisions, decisions – Submittable

Submittable

  December 2 2020

 

Hi everyone,

Teamwork is vital to everything we do (just look how scientists from around the world worked together selflessly to develop the mRNA technology that will likely deliver us a COVID-19 vaccine in under a year). It’s also vital to reaching the most fair and unbiased decisions. But group decision-making gets exponentially harder as you add more cooks to the kitchen: arguments break out, power plays emerge, and efficiency is completely lost. Add stress and ticking clocks, and it can be a struggle to even decide on dinner.

Below, read our best advice and best research on the art and science of decision making—whether there are two of you or 200 of you, whether you’re in the same room or thousands of miles away. We’ll explore decision-making best practices, how to make unbiased decisions as a team, and more.

 

Stay healthy and safe,

What We’re listening to

A podcast that mixes the best aspects of history and true crime, Death in the West.

The first season of this new podcast (created and researched here in Montana) takes place in Butte, America, in 1917, when the copper mines made the city the richest hill on earth and the mining companies ruled all. Enter Frank Little, a itinerant miner and labor radical who wasn’t afraid to speak up. Little was murdered, and to this day, no one has been prosecuted though the story is generally pretty clear: he was silenced by the mines. The podcast, which has been praised by Rolling Stone and the New Yorker, is about much more than an unsolved murder—it’s about capitalism, labor rights, freedom, money, and control, along with how one person who speaks up can change the course of history.
