How Perception-Based Decisions can Negatively Shape your Leadership Performance (Decision-Making and Behavior)

Abstract

In present-day, one of the most subtle means political leaders use to influence their base of supporters is through verbal communication. Over the past two years, some political leaders have increasingly relied on “transferring their perception onto their base of followers, which often negatively stimulates, arouses and shapes an individual’s performance” (decision-making and behavior). In addition, to the detriment of our society, when political leaders transfer their perception onto their base of followers, they often misjudge the sensitive consequences of the prospective outcome. Here for the first time, research now shows that a displaced thought process is attributed to the underlying stimulation used to arouse the transfer of one’s perception onto others. Therefore, because the dangerous cruel and often violent behavior that follows the transfer of one’s perception has become so prevalent in our society, such performance warrants immediate exploration.
