Judgment - Transforming Character into Strategy
This week, we move past Justice to explore the crucial second filter in your leadership development tree: Judgment. This isn't just a clinical skill—it's the core of exemplary leadership, enabling sound choices in the absence of clear data.
Mark, is joined by EMS Deputy Director Chad, (author of Burnt Out), reluctant leader Jeff, and special guest, retired NYPD/EMS veteran Mike Chanat, who ties in his "Key Three" of Communication, Mindset, and Empathy.
What We Dissect in this Episode:-
Affective vs. Cognitive: We debate where good judgment lives. Does it come from the book knowledge (cognitive) or the amygdala's stored affective response (your gut feeling)? We explain how this "acquired instinct" separates seasoned professionals from rookies.
-
The Three Domains of Decision-Making: We dive into the most critical areas for leaders—People, Strategy, and Crisis—and discuss why People Judgment is the most vital skill for organizational success.
-
The Leadership Paradox: Why do leaders need to create a "safe space" for subordinates to make mistakes? We discuss the boundary condition of developing judgment and why allowing an "organizational scuff" (like a small scratch on the rig) builds integrity and long-term wisdom.
-
Transforming Character: We analyze how procedural justice and integrity (like honestly reporting the scuff) are the non-negotiable foundations that allow field-level experience (Character) to eventually inform high-level Organizational Strategy. (Episode summary created by Google Gemini)
Listen in to learn how to effectively apply the wisdom of your toughest calls to the strategic challenges facing your career and your department.
