Review: 'Judgment' by Noel Tichy & Warren Bennis

Great leaders are able to stay focused and make good decisions, even in times of ambiguity, hardship, and crisis. Judgment will teach you how to make good decisions in even the worst of situations.

Bennis & Tichy have studied executive leaders for decades, and this book contains the essence of what they've learned about the art of making good decisions. Leadership can sometimes be a nebulous topic to explain, but the examples and anecdotes contained in this text show effective leaders in action, clearly highlighting the principles at work.

In Judgment, you'll learn how effective leaders recognize the critical moments where a decision should be made, make the call, and execute the plan after the decision is made. You'll also discover the power of the "teachable point of view": concisely communicating your purpose and intent to the people you lead.

The decisions you make as a business leader can make or break your company. Judgment will teach you how to make good calls more often.
