I think when you are put in a situation where you are acting predictably irrational, as a leader is important to communicate and reassure those around you to trust you. Sometimes explaining more clearly why acting irrational for that window of time or for that specific decision makes sense. Sometimes irrational situations require irrational looking solutions, but after trying those solutions, maybe they will become more rational looking. The best defense is communication and tapping into previous trust that has been built.
Yes, definitely, I think information has been distorted in a way that was over estimating or hyping certain products or efforts. In hindsight, when I have been pulled into situations that are irrational, but are presented in a way that makes them seam rational, normally it is best to step back, and use fundamentals to verify or make sure that everyone on board is not on a boat getting ready to go over a waterfall because of irrational exuberance.
BTW: I really liked the posted movie and the points it made. Especially how the speaker explains how when it come to the physical world, humans are good at understanding their limitations, but when it comes to the abstract, we definitely think there are no limits. I like how he referenced the construction of stock markets are being inherently flawed because we do not know our limitations and inherent mental shortcomings.
