Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls

In the face of ambiguity, uncertainty, and conflicting demands, a leader's judgment determines the fate of an entire organization. Now Noel Tichy and Warren Bennis-both experts in leadership and advisors to the top CEOs-offer a powerful guide to making tough calls when the stakes are high and the right path is far from obvious. No organization can afford to neglect this crucial discipline-and no previous book has ever brought it into such clear focus.

This "engaging and thorough" (Publishers Weekly) study comes to life through interviews with world-class leaders who have thrived or suffered because of their judgment calls, such as New York City Department of Education chancellor Joel Klein, former Procter & Gamble CEO A. G. Lafley, former Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson, and the late general Wayne Downing.
