Now, in their first collaboration, these titans of management redefine the essence of leadership as the ability to make consistently good judgments, especially when the stakes are high, information is limited, and the right call is far from obvious. Leaders add most of their value by the quality of their judgments; every other aspect of leadership is secondary. Judgment clarifies an important concept that is often misunderstood. Many assume that good judgment is an inborn trait, but Tichy and Bennis show that it's actually a skill that can be developed, refined, and nurtured through an organization. The judgment process unfolds in three phases: Before the callhow do you frame the problem? Making the callhow do you decide which route to take? Executing the callhow do you make sure everyone supports the decision and follows through? The authors apply this model to many kinds of judgments, involving people (hiring, firing, promoting); strategy (mergers, new products); and crisis management (ethical dilemmas, business failures). They illustrate their lessons with stories from major companies that have thrived or suffered because of the judgment of senior management. This book will help readers get better at decision making and support better decision making from their bosses and staff. 771227 8 11 2007 Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls total:20|5:6|4:4|3:7|2:2|1:1| 20 72 50 5 2 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 10:24:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 10:40:31 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Feb 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 22 09:39:22 -0700 2008 Sat Feb 14 10:43:21 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 24 01:20:21 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 24 01:23:41 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Tue Jun 24 22:56:56 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 24 22:58:12 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun May 31 19:33:11 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 19:47:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 10 20:01:05 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 20:01:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 04 19:31:39 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 19:31:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 27 09:27:39 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 09:27:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 24 04:55:55 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 05:03:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 05:50:22 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 05:50:22 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jul 10 18:35:54 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 16:11:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jun 28 20:50:59 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 20:50:59 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Jun 27 21:50:18 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 21:50:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 24 13:18:39 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 13:18:39 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jun 22 12:18:59 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 12:18:59 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 05:15:10 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 05:15:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 28 08:15:16 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 08:15:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 17 17:22:08 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 17:22:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 30 22:25:11 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 22:25:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 26 12:56:13 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 12:56:20 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=785229
