Judgement at Work

How do I know who to trust. What about risk. Should I rely on my intuition. How do I best use my knowledge and experience. These are the dilemmas facing anyone who makes decisions in business today. Good judgement is crucial to good management in general and leadership in particular. It covers not only major choices like important hires, strategy and big projects, but how organisations shape their culture. Based on a lifetime of research and applied expertise, Andrew Likierman - former dean of London Business School and director of the Bank of England - asks the questions which have never been asked by business or management books before: What exactly is judgement. And how do we separate this process from risk, decision-making or sheer luck. Using examples from a diverse range of fields and countries to put forward a radical six-part framework, Likierman explains how to find out whether you have judgement, how to improve it and how to identify it in others - revealing extraordinary opportunities for self-improvement on the way.
