# Values & Intuition Decision-Making Toolkit

A synthesized approach to making better decisions under pressure, drawn from multiple experts featured in HBR's 'Make Better Decisions' management-tip roundup. It moves from establishing a baseline of values, to testing them, to deciding how to weigh data against gut feeling — the staged expression of [[concept-values-based-decision-making]].

**Steps:**
1. **Identify** your core values to serve as a decision-making guide amid uncertainty (per [[entity-paul-ingram|Paul Ingram]]).
2. **Test** the strength of those identified values by asking **four key questions** (per [[entity-robert-glazer|Robert Glazer]]).
3. **Decide** whether to lean on hard data or your intuition by asking **two specific questions** (per [[entity-laura-huang|Laura Huang]]).
