Information, cognitive biases, and commitment to a course of action

Article Abstract:

Executives can use two information supplying techniques to increase the personal commitment of those they are seeking to influence in favor of a particular project. The first involves the use of personal anecdotes to inspire a sense of group confidence in the executive, which will lead to project support, regardless of its own merits. The second requires the use of project related anecdotes that show success in similar or related projects, and and ascribe setbacks to temporary exogenous variables.
