Decision Leadership

Empowering Others to Make Better Choices

De: Don A. Moore, Max H. Bazerman

Narrado por: Roman Howell

A fresh, research-driven playbook for how successful leaders can maximize the potential of others

When we think of leaders, we often imagine lone, inspirational figures lauded for their behaviors, attributes, and personal decisions, and leadership books often reinforce that view. However, this approach ignores a leader's mission to empower others. Applying decades of behavioral science research, Don A. Moore and Max H. Bazerman offer a passionate corrective to this view, casting today's organizations as decision factories in which effective leaders are decision architects, enabling those around them to make wise, ethical choices consistent with their own interests and the organization's highest values. As a result, a leader's impact grows because it ripples out instead of relying on one individual to play the part of heroic figure.

Filled with real-life stories and examples of the structures, incentives, and systems that successful leaders have used, this playbook equips each of us to facilitate wise decisions.

Get a better narrator

Great book, but narrator sounds like he’s talking down to you- too slow and deliberate. He should learn how to pronounce “behavioral”. Makes it hard to listen to.

Great examples to bring the concepts to life

A good combination of theory, practical examples, results of experiments and hypothetical scenarios to help us connect the dots in leadership and decision making

Disappointing

Narrator is indeed distracting in his hyper-articulation which seems affected (not how he normally talks). And most of the content of the book isn’t new or even newly presented. Rather it’s a repackaging of other great books. The overarching framework is interesting and helpful but not worthy of such a long publication.
