We all face tough choices: business executives, community leaders,
and family members all struggle with difficult decisions on a daily
basis. What we decide reveals what really matters to us; how we
decide determines whether we succeed or fail. Developed over twenty
years in settings as diverse as hospital bedsides and corporate
boardrooms, A Field Guide to Good Decisions provides the skills to
make decisions that reflect your core values while respecting those
of others, including the long-term implications for all
participants. Illustrated through many real-life examples that will
resonate with readers both professionally and personally, A Field
Guide to Good Decisions offers practical tools and techniques for
identifying individual and common goals, reaching consensus, and
communicating the results effectively. The authors also show
readers how to overcome common obstacles to good decision-making
(psychological, cultural, and organizational). Ultimately, this
book is about making decisions which, while not always a matter of
life or death, nevertheless have a powerful effect on our sense of
self, our credibility in the eyes of others, and the lives of those
touched by the choices we make. Decision making is always personal.
Each of us makes important decisions at work, in the community, and
at home. When we face tough choices, what we decide reveals what
really matters to us; how we decide determines whether we succeed
or fail. Business executives, community leaders, and family members
all struggle with difficult decisions: a senior management team
makes an important choice about whether to pursue an acquisition; a
baby-boomer decides whether to place an elderly parent in assisted
living; a non-profit administrator considers laying off employees
to have money and continue serving the community. For each, the
steps toward a good decision are the same: know your values, engage
others to understand theirs, and communicate with respect and
candor. Simple in concept, not so easy in practice-but making a
good decision demands nothing less. Developed over twenty years in
settings as diverse as hopsital bedsides and corporate boardrooms,
A Field Guide to Good Decisions provides the skills to make
decisions that reflect your core values while respecting those of
others, including the long-term implications for all participants.
