Explain the most common errors in decision making
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include points such as:
Cognitive nearsightedness: The tendency to make decisions which satisfy immediate needs and brush aside doubts about their long-term wisdom.
The Assumption that the Future Will Repeat the Past: The alert administrator can detect early warning signals through human behavior that indicate an emerging problem. It may be inappropriate to handle the emerging problem in the same manner as previously done because many precedents have been shattered and police officers and other groups/individuals, who behaved one way in the past, may or may not behave that way in the future.
Oversimplification: Accepting simple solutions to the surface problem (a symptom) rather than finding more complicated solutions to the root problem (the cause).
Overreliance on One's Own Experience: A person's own
