ABSTRACT
Managers.and.executives.must.frequently.decide.how.best.to.allocate.scarce. financial.and.human.resources..Each.decision.they.make.is.the.end.result.of. a.problem-solving.exercise..The.history.of.every.organization.is.the.cumulative.sum.of.the.decisions.that.result.from.these.efforts.at.problem.solving.. The. quality. of. individual. managerial. problem. solving. and. decision. making.is.a.function.of.good.judgment..This.chapter.is.about.how.to.define.and. evaluate.good.judgment..Our.central.argument.is.that.good.judgment.is.a. function.of.intelligence.and.personality..The.statement.seems.simple,.but.it. is.not..The.topic.of.how.to.define.intelligence.is.quite.vexed,.and.the.largest. part.of.this.chapter.concerns.just.that.problem..Once.that.is.accomplished,. we.then.try.to.show.how.good.judgment.comes.from.crossing.intelligence. (as.we.define.it).with.personality.
