Description
In this episode, Ross Dawson interviews Andrew Likierman, who shares his extensive experience and research on judgment. Likierman explains the importance of judgment in decision-making across various fields, emphasizing that good judgment is not an abstract concept but one that can be understood and improved. He outlines a six-element framework to help individuals exercise better judgment, which includes experience, awareness, trust, feelings and beliefs, weighing alternatives, and the ability to carry out decisions. Likierman also discusses how relevant knowledge and awareness of context can dramatically improve the quality of decisions. Throughout the conversation, Likierman highlights the balance between intuition and logic in decision-making, pointing out that intuition can be useful when based on experience, but risky when applied without sufficient knowledge. He also reflects on the role of human judgment in a world increasingly driven by AI, arguing that while machines can outperform humans in many areas, humans still hold the advantage in navigating complex and ambiguous situations. The episode concludes with insights into the future of work, where judgment will be more important as machines take over more mechanical tasks, leaving humans to focus on more nuanced and value-adding roles.
