Sense-making vs decision making

“If I make a decision it is a possession, I take pride in it, I tend to defend it and not listen to those who question it. If I make sense, then this is more dynamic and I listen, and I can change it. A decision is something you polish. Sensemaking is a direction for the next period.” Paul Gleason, wildland firefighter
