Making Better Choices

Independent Judgement is an important ingredient in building and sustaining reliance. Questions of judgement are very live. Judgement is an important quality for board members who would benefit from knowing what independent judgement is. Most useful is filling in the gaps and accessing examples from interviews. The good news is that Sir Andrew Likierman has come to the rescue. Sir Andrew Likierman, Professor at London Business School, brings an interesting and useful lens to the judgment process

He presents 6 stages

  1. Knowledge and experience
  2. Awareness
  3. Trust
  4. Feelings and beliefs
  5. Choice
  6. Delivery (especially for decisions)

Good judgement shapes incisive questions on how to stack the cards in your favour when making choices. It explains how you can learn to do better by understanding what goes into the judgement process, and gives a framework to do so.

Without honesty about what we know and don’t know, none of us can make informed judgements.

  1. How relevant is my experience and knowledge?
  2. Am I aware of what is going on?
  3. Can I trust the people and the information?
  4. Do I understand my feelings and beliefs?
  5. Have I properly considered the options?
  6. Can I deliver?

Sir Andrew Likierman’s book Judgement at Work, Making Better Choices, presents more details on how to identify, assess, and exercise judgement in decisions big and small.
