Judgment : how winning leaders make great calls - TIC; Bennis, Warren G (London : Penguin Group, 2007)
Whether we're talking about United States presidents, CEO's, Major League coaches, or wartime generals, leaders are remembered for their best and worst judgment calls. In the face of ambiguity, uncertainty, and conflicting demands, the quality of a leader's judgment determines the fate of the entire organization. That's why judgment is the essence of leadership. The authors of this book offer a powerful framework for making tough calls when the stakes are high and the right path is far from obvious. They show how to recognise the critical moment before a judgment call, when swift and decisive action is essential, and also how to execute a decision after the call.
