In The Art of Judgment, John Adair draws upon his decades of experience and expertise to provide a practical and fascinating insight into how you can harness the full potential of your judgement. The success of any organization or individual depends upon the sound judgment of its leadership. Too often, this elusive characteristic has been misperceived as an unchangeable, entrenched element of our character. But in fact, judgment is an art—one that can be honed, developed and mastered. Adair's in-depth methods are summarized in 10 key principles, which include:

- Thinking to Some Purpose

- Experience – the Seedbed

- Truth – the Leading Star

- How to Share Decisions

- The Role of Values

With the divisiveness of public discourse and the complexities of modern business, it is more difficult than ever to be sure that you're making the right decision.

This is an essential companion for any business leaders interested in making the best decisions for them and their organization. Good judgment is the secret behind any success, and also has the potential to accelerate one's own career.
