Judgement

My neighbour, I shall her Joy(not her real name) recommend this book to me. She told her a Perm Sec recommend to her and she finds it good. The author Noel M. Tichy and Warren Bennis are well-known. Tichy work in GE before and lay claim to Teachable Point of View. Bennis is a professor in U of Southern California specialising in leadership.

"How winning leaders make great calls" is the subtitle. The book studies the "great" American CEOs such as Jack Welch, Jeff Immelt, A. G. Lafley(P&G) and Jim McNerney.

Good judgement is a process and not an event. It is NOT just a decision. The "decision" has to be frame and decided on. After that it need execution and adjustment to the changes.

The 3 Critical Domains or Dimension for judgement calls are People, Strategy and Crisis. People is considered the most difficult and also most critical. Sounds a little like motherhood and apple pie to me.

They continue to say exercising good judgement requires Self-Knowledge. Support teams are vital and engaging others leads to success. Similar to Sun Tze's "Know yourself, Know your enemy, A hundred Battles, A hundred Victories."

I must say the book is quite easy to read and the personalities are well-known and published in many books and articles.
