Abstract
A detailed examination of the findings of a study focusing on executive decision making in six representative companies indicates that executives rank innovation, risk-taking, flexibility, and trust as important influences for effective decision making. Results of the investigation indicate, however, that during important decision-making meetings, executives dedicate themselves to 'getting the job done,' which results in a suppression of creativity and innovation. Recommended methods of breaking down barriers include certain types of questioning; playing back and analyzing video recordings of meetings; and laboratory education and its various offshoots.
