“A Daniel Come to Judgment”

In: Essence of a Manager

Abstract

A “good” manager is distinguished by his judgment and his willingness to make judgments. A judgment is an exercise of mind to come to an actionable conclusion. The selection of objectives, of the actions needed, of specific actors to be mobilised and their particular actions are all dependent upon the judgment exercised. Conclusions about the goodness or badness of judgements are made long after the judgment itself and only in retrospect. It is the soundness of judgments which must be sought rather than goodness of a future result. This, in turn, requires a quality assurance of the process of coming to judgment which needs to be both rigorous and automatic. But no judgment is without risk. Having a sound judgment must be consummated by the willingness to exercise it.
