#9 Judgment

“Depend upon yourself. Make your judgment trustworthy by trusting it. You can develop good judgment as you do the muscles of your body – by judicious, daily exercise. To be known as a man of sound judgment will be much in your favor.”  Grantland Rice

A simple definition of “good judgment” is the ability to weigh facts and possible courses of action in order to make sound decisions.  Emotions and ego must be contained in order for the leader to make judgments that are best for the organization.

Sound judgment allows a leader to make appropriate decisions for the welfare of the organization and the individuals that make up the team. Developing this skill requires the leader to study , understand and practice critical thinking. Rational thought, experience, and instinct for what is right along with courage is the formula for good judgment.
