The Human mind is a dynamic and the most versatile entity of the body. Anything we do, it is because our mind tells us to do. This dynamism is a grey side to is and that is called the hasty side. For people making decisions based on emotion, this hasty side is dominating their reasoning. And such people tend to defend their decisions based on emotion by devising some logic to bolster such decisions. It is a natural tendency to show reluctance in accepting the fact that one has made wrong decisions. And hence, such people cannot be called a good decision makers. Though few may argue that sometimes emotion based action is required on the part of doer but a good decision maker will always apply the logic before making any decision even when the thinking time is only few seconds.

To put a light on the importance of logic over emotion rather than emotion over logic, decisions taken in light of emotions are generally biased in nature. It is always inclined to that side for which one's mind is inclined at the time of making the decision based on the situation present at that moment. Those emotions are partial in nature. For example, suppose in the planning stage of a construction project, the project director approves an unrealistic and non viable bridge which has never been constructed in the history of mankind. But during the construction phase the unparalleled difficulties may lead to the greatest bottleneck for the completion of the project. But then the Project Director will try to justify that it was approved based on crating a history, which is not very sound logic to defend.

To elaborate further, like emotions are temporary and logic is permanent, the logic based decisions stand their ground in testing times and emotion based decisions generally collapse in tiring times. For example, under normal circumstances, a decision based on momentary appeal of the mind to include firing range in secondary schools may back fire in case of any serious injury including death of a student. In those moment also, the decision taking body will try to justify but in the end the loss might be huge. Such decision can, hence, be surely called as poor.

Although, some situations do demand an emotional impulsive decision but again a good decision maker will always weigh the options logically even with only few seconds or minutes in hand. For example, during an accident, the fellow motorist may extend his help for the victims but back in his mind he has clear understanding that the accident has not been caused by him as recorded by the CCTV cameras installed along the road side. So that even if the police questions his involvement, he has his logic to back him up.

In a nutshell, the emotion should take a back seat and logic should only be the criteria for making decisions to define a good decision maker.
