Without good judgement, you can\u2019t have good leadership. Because good judgement is the\u00a0foundation to making good decisions.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Good judgement allows you to size up a challenging situation, and to make the right call.<\/p>\n

Good judgement allows you to examine a fork-in-the-road moment and to discern the appropriate path.<\/p>\n

And because good judgement is so vital a component in leadership, any dynamic that can weaken your judgement must be quickly identified, and eliminated. Which is why you need to pay particular attention to these\u2026<\/p>\n

5\u00a0Dangerous Judgement Crushers:<\/h3>\n

1. Rage<\/h3>\n

Have you ever made your best leadership decision while in a fit of rage? Of course not.<\/p>\n

When anger gets the best of you it can cause you to lash out and to make a quick, even savage decision. But this is not you at your best. Whatever sparked the rage, let it subside. Cool down, and then lead.<\/p>\n

2. Fatigue<\/h3>\n

Drowsiness and good judgement never go together. When you allow yourself to become sleep-deprived, suddenly the weight of simple decision-making can feel ponderous and even over-whelming.<\/p>\n

Take a nap before you make a decision you\u2019ll regret.<\/p>\n

3. Public opinion<\/h3>\n

You believe the right decision is \u201cNo\u201d. Everyone else seems to think it should be \u201cYes\u201d.<\/p>\n

They can\u2019t all be wrong, can they?<\/p>\n

Actually, they can be.<\/p>\n

All of those voices can mess up your judgement. Listen to advisors and take into account public opinion. But leadership isn\u2019t a democracy. Tune out the noise and make the call.<\/p>\n

4. Hubris<\/h3>\n

The moment you begin to feel entitled or invincible, your good judgement has already been compromised.<\/p>\n

Humility can be the best friend of good judgement.<\/p>\n

5. Pressure<\/h3>\n

Pressure is a fact of life in leadership. But unbridled, unrelenting pressure will hamper your better judgement.<\/p>\n

Deal with the pressure first. Then deal with the decisions.<\/p>\n

In challenging times, you will face situations in which your good judgement will play a key role in determining the best outcome.<\/p>\n

Armed with good judgement your chances of coming out ahead are greatly enhanced. So pay attention to these judgement-crushers.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t let them rob of you of your most important leadership weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
