Decision Leadership

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—a perception that is reinforced by many leadership books.
However, this approach ignores the expectations of modern work cultures centered on equity and inclusion, where a leader’s true mission is 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.
