BNET Business Dictionary

Business Definition for: Intuitive Management

  • a management style that relies on gut feeling or a sixth sense, rather than on analytical or objective reasoning. Intuitive management exploits the holistic, imaginative, spiritual skills of the right side of the brain, whereas the conventional school of management favors the skills of the left side of the brain, which are logical, rational, linear, and mathematical in nature. Intuitive management is closely linked to a style of decision making that encourages creativity and innovation. Because this style of decision making has no rational basis, however, it can be difficult to justify decisions that turn out to be wrong.
