People sometimes don’t know what they’re doing so they’re looking up to the leader hoping that this person will lead them to the right directions by being rational and making the right choices. As a leader, if my actions and decisions make sense in an irrational sense, I could try to give reasons why such decisions are they right ones. I must show my confidence so people can trust my decisions.

It’s true that the way information being presented can influence decision-making. My aunt, who’s only a few years older than me, and I always go shopping together and we would take turn to drive. One time, it was her turn to drive us to the mall. But all of a sudden, my aunt suggested that we should go to Vacaville outlet. She hates driving anywhere that’s over 15 miles so she said I should drive. Of course I was lazy so I said no, too far. Then she asked me to drive us to Great Mall instead. First, I already felt guilty for turning down her first suggestion. Second, I thought well, Great Mall seemed to be less than half the distance. So it was a better choice and I agreed to drive us to Great Mall. If she was to ask me to drive us to Great Mall first, I probably would have said no. When I got home from the mall that day, I thought, wait a minute, she tricked me (haha). I ended up driving us to Great Mall even though it was her turn to drive that day. So the way she presented her requests has influenced my decision-making.
