Quick decision making
Quick decision exercise is used to prepare people to face crisis situations and to get them into the frame of mind in which they will think quickly under stress, focus on key issues, learn to ignore minor ones and to reach action-decisions. An example: 'A woman faints inside the line of march. You are a marshal.
What do you do?' Allow fifteen seconds for discussion among the three or four people taking part. Afterwards, discussion with all participants.
The major limitation: doing too many quick decision exercises, especially right before an action takes place, can establish a mind-set of emergency, thus raising tension so that people panic. Quick decision exercises should be tempered with other training experiences to prevent this perspective of imminent danger.
