0. Judgment - Definition

Judgment:


The essence of effective leadership. 


It is a contextually informed decision-making process encompassing three domains: 


people, strategy, and crisis. 


Within each domain, leadership judgments follow a three-phase process: 


preparation, the call, and execution. 


Good leadership judgment is supported by contextual knowledge of 


oneself, social network, organization, and stakeholders.

1. Judgment and Leadership

Judgment and Leadership

--> Making judgment calls is the essential job of a leader

                  - With good judgment, little else matters

                  - Without good judgment, nothing else matters

--> Long-term success is the sole marker of good judgment

                  - Good leaders sort the important from the trivial

                  - They focus on getting the important calls right

--> Leaders make the calls and see to their execution

                  - They manage relationships with key constituencies

                  - They align and mobilize team members for support
