Recommendation

At crucial times, leaders can face arduous decisions: complex dilemmas under dynamic conditions and intense pressure. Such situations require clarity, discernment, strategic thinking, and insight — in a word, judgment. Strategist Chris Mailander has counseled dozens of clients at the highest level of business and government through challenging decision paths. His authoritative account — although lacking in practical advice — will help leaders enhance their own and their organizations’ advantages and take on even the most momentous challenges.

Take-Aways

  • Leaders require judgment to make critical decisions under challenging conditions.
  • Once a “decision arc” is set in motion, it is hard to change its trajectory.
  • The force of water is a metaphor that aids in understanding the pressures shaping decision arcs.
