The traditional image of a good leader is someone who is resoluteand decisive. Research, however, indicates that the socalledmacho manager approach to decision making is potentiallycounterproductive because it not only leads to hasty choices butprevents withdrawal when decisions turn out badly. Some suggestions forovercoming the problem are made including skilful use of language.
