Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Nat on October 31, 2024

There were lots of good tidbits in this book, but it felt like they really rode on other author’s coattails by basically summarizing other books for a big part of their content. I also was a bit confused by the meandering obsession with Trump throughout the book. It wasn’t just examples, which could......more

Goodreads review by Travis on November 17, 2022

Sort of a miniature, practical variant of Thinking, Fast and Slow with some great insight on leadership and decision making. The ethics chapter had a pretty left-leaning utilitarian bent (it's not ethical to help out your friends, because you might be helping out people like you and contributing to......more

Goodreads review by Guy on June 06, 2022

I found the book to focus a lot more on the decision than the leadership parts. I came into the book familiar with most of the concepts, and was looking for to focus on empowering others to make better decisions. I did find the last chapter useful on pulling some of the ideas together in a ‘choice a......more

Goodreads review by Adam on January 11, 2023

Sadly this was a little bit of a lot and not clearly enough explained to be all that useful. This is the common approach of shotgun teaching, where it hits the highlights from the past 10-20 years of business and psychology in hopes it inspired and updates management. Maybe it helps, but it really d......more
