One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management isthat thinking is inseparable from acting. Since managers often know what is right before they cananalyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysisis inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managersdevelop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing aproblematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert.
Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that theyface, senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn moreabout an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a morecomplete understanding of the issue. One implication of thinking/acting cyclesis that action is often part of defining the problem, not just of implementingthe solution.
