Abstract
The primary purpose of this study is to explore, understand and conceptualize the experience and practical application of intuition at work by interviewing male senior managers with consulting, managerial and/or leadership roles. As a sub goal, this study aims to verify to what degree and how intuition is an experience that mobilizes and affects individual's sensorial, emotional, cognitive, and intellectual dimension.
Since this is an overarching topic that can lead to innumerable directions, an initial working and loose definition is pertinent and it is given to frame this investigation by the researcher: Intuition is a mysterious individual faculty of mind that provides perception, insight, knowledge, understanding, judgment, and subtle responses to one's inner and outer dealings with reality.
The central questions are: What is intuition and how is it accessed? How do male executives experience and use intuition at work? What does/did happen when intuition is/was used in the decision making process? What are the circumstances for the emergence and development of intuition?
