I was reflecting on skill of leaders
being able to make good judgment calls. I was planning to write how
developing leaders should develop this ability and I came across this
book: Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls by Noel M.
Tichy and Warren G. Bennis
I thought it is better to mention a book
review posted on Amazon.com to cover more on this topic:
According to Tichy and Bennis, there is
a framework of three "critical domains" within which all decisions are
made. Judgments about people are the most difficult, and most
critical; the others involve strategy and crisis. They stress that
good judgment calls are a process, not an event. Each begins when a
leader recognizes a need and frames the decision to be made, with the
process continuing through execution and adjustment. They also stress
the importance of possessing sufficient self-knowledge because making
a right call "isn't a solo performance; support teams are
vital."
I do like the content covered in this book
and I believe that this book will be a good resource for developing
leaders.
