We've all had experiences where we have been frustrated by a decision that our supervisor made. You have probably blamed this decision on your boss being "closed-minded," "stubborn," or "pigheaded." But after reading the background materials you should be able to more precisely examine and define the predocise decision-making biases or pitfalls that your supervisor made.

Think of three bad decisions that your current or past supervisors made. For each decision, explain what bias discussed in the background materials likely led to this bad decision. It would help if you used biases specifically discussed in Bolland and Fletcher (2012); Kourdi (2003); or Hammond, Keeney, and Raiffa (2008). For each of the three decisions, include

A) A brief description of the decision and why you think it was a bad one

B) What kind of bias you do think led to this decision, and why

C) A reference to one of the background readings from this module

Finally, conclude your answer with a discussion about which of the three readings from the background materials would be most useful for your supervisor to read to help make better decisions and avoid biases. Explain why you think this reading would be more useful than the other two readings
