 Heinrich Ibsen and Tess Flanders are historically credited with the evolved phrase that a picture is worth a thousand words, but a picture, story or data can often be understood based on how it's framed. Leaders, when presented with data or offered an idea that requires a decision, must not only consider the words, but also frame the problem in which the idea portrait is delivered, ultimately interpreting how your organization's narrative may be written. The framing effect bias influences our decisions by the way information is presented or highlighted. Due to cognitive limitations, equivalent information can mistakenly become preferable if it shows a positive self gain, if it's the easier of two concepts to be understood, or if it's presented first and appears to be good enough, known as satisfying. As a leader, when presented with a menu of data or someone's best solution to a problem, focus on the picture to visualize the rest of the narrative. Be aware that when you're writing your own decision narrative, our brains are influenced by framing, often masking the true details of the collective and diverse masterpiece presented within or by your organizational team. Lead well this week.
