'Brilliant and highly entertaining, this book is essential reading
for every leader, regardless of age or experience.' - Admiral
William McRaven, author of Make Your Bed -------- What if you could
learn how to expect the unexpected? In business, like in life,
foresight is crucial for avoiding pitfalls and disaster - and yet
it's something we spend nearly no time developing. Retired
four-star general Stan McChrystal has lived a life associated with
the deadly risks of combat; he has been forced to analyse and
prepare for situations he didn't even know were possible. As a
business consultant, he has seen how hundreds of individuals and
organizations - too often and to great cost - fail to mitigate
risk. Why? Because they focus on the probability of something
happening instead of the interface through which any and all risks
can be managed. In Risk: A User's Guide, McChrystal presents a new
system of responding to risk. He lays out ten dimensions of control
which we can adjust at any given time, no matter the context:
narrative, bias, action, timing, adaptability, communication,
technology, diversity, structure and leadership. Drawing on
compelling examples ranging from military history to the business
world, and offering infinitely practical exercises to improve
preparedness, McChrystal illustrates how these ten factors are
almost always in effect - and how, by considering them constantly,
individuals and organizations can exert mastery over every
conceivable sort of risk that they might face. We may not be able
to see into the future, but Risk gives us a framework for improving
our resistance and building a strong defense against what we know
-- and what we don't. -------- 'A brilliant user's guide that
demonstrates how managing risk is about how we lead, rather than
getting mathematical equations right.' - Annie Duke, bestselling
author of Thinking In Bets and How To Decide 'Measured, meticulous,
and filled with practical, pragmatic wisdom from both war and
peace, McChrystal's clear-eyed, unsentimental guidance cuts to the
heart of our precarious existence. A must-read leadership bible.' -
James Kerr, bestselling author of Legacy 'An essential playbook on
mastering all dimensions of risk. For soldiers, educators, CEOs,
entrepreneurs, government leaders, and everyone in between.' -
