Innumerable leaders rely on their intuition or “gut feeling” as their primary decision-making tool. Many of these leaders do so because it seems to offer a reliable alternative to fact gathering and analysis. However, extraordinary leaders understand that they cannot simply trust their gut when faced with difficult decisions.

Survey research provides an excellent alternative or compliment to intuition as a decision-making tool. The survey research can yield reliable and useful data to inform decision making. In fact, survey research can be one of the most reliable and cost-effective research methods to get meaningful feedback from stakeholders.
