Description

Judgment: The Art of Momentous Decision-Making explores the single most influential variable in determining who wins and who loses in moments of critical decision-making: judgment.

Through the eyes of a Cold War nuclear submarine commander hunting an enemy in the Sea of Japan, a Wall Street executive challenged to avert a global financial crisis, and the senior director of the White House Situation Room standing up the US national security apparatus in response to terrorist attacks in Paris, the deeper codes and common patterns within judgment well exercised are revealed.

This book sets forth the clues to look for and the methodologies that can be used by strategists, planners, and leaders — whether they be in the boardroom or on the battlefield — to improve their own leadership when it matters the most.
