Chapter 6 in Radical Decision Making: Leading Strategic Change in Complex Organizations, 2015, pp 103-115 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hruška examines two connected but separate processes: creation of the radical mental model and the process of its validation—the moment of decision. First, Hruška describes the process of mental model construction which consists of three phases: search for the governing metaphor, construction of initial mental representation and construction of a developed radical mental model. Second, the author deals with the validation of radical mental model. After the radical mental model is constructed and elaborated, the decision maker will find that many aspects are foggy and not accounted for. That is why the leader needs to infuse the mental model with the spirit of hope. Hruška elaborates origins and consequences of the virtue of hope on the radical decision making process.
