"With good judgment, little else matters. Without it, nothing else matters," said Noel M. Trichy in the foreword of the book. The book is must-read for current leaders as well as future leaders. This framework can help anyone who runs a small team or a big corporation. It gives keys to evaluate a situation, make a call and execute a decision after the call and correct it if it is necessary. Also, the authors explain that judgment calls are made in three domains: people, strategy and in time of crisis. But I will develop those points in the second part of this analysis. This book is the first one to claim judgment as a science, and not as a fortunately hazard of life. Judgment notion is totally dissected in this book, at least according to the authors.
Actually, the methodology is not perfect at all in this book. First of all, there is no definition of the word "judgment". It would be at least the first thing to do.
Moreover, authors try to convince that making judgment is the determination of the success or the failure of an organization or the leader is the only person responsible of judgment in organizations. They try to make us think that a leader is like God, a good one or not, only because he or she did badly. But authors fail to prove it! So, it is very annoying to admit such things.
