Mental Models: The Key to Making Reality-Based Decisions

Each one of us has a perception of reality about how the world works – a mental model. Like an internal hard drive, it provides understanding, guides thinking, and directs decision-making. Built from everyday experiences, outside influences, and rewards such as money and success, mental models can be both beneficial and detrimental to success. Just as technology shifts and advances, so does the need for individuals, teams, and organizations to update, flex, and reconstruct mental models to improve performance.
