Description:We all face tough choices: business executives, community leaders, and family members all struggle with difficult decisions on a daily basis. What we decide reveals what really matters to us; how we decide determines whether we succeed or fail. Developed over twenty years in settings as diverse as hospital bedsides and corporate boardrooms, "A Field Guide to Good Decisions" provides the skills to make decisions that reflect your
core values while respecting those of others, including the long-term implications for all participants.
Illustrated through many real-life examples that will resonate with readers both professionally and personally, "A Field Guide to Good Decisions" offers practical tools and techniques for identifying individual and
common goals, reaching consensus, and communicating the results effectively. The authors also show readers how to overcome common obstacles to good decision-
making (psychological, cultural, and organizational). Ultimately, this book is about making decisions which, while not always a matter of life or death, nevertheless have a powerful effect on our sense of self, our credibility in the eyes of others, and the lives of those touched by the choices we make.

"At a time in our history when the word "values" has been widely trivialized, here is a thoughtful,
clear, and coherent call to reclaim our personal integrity through an improved set of decision-making skills. Bennett and Gibson are clear-thinking guides able to move us forward in shaping decisions founded on known values, trust, and integrity. This remarkable book is a must read for anyone
living in families, organizations, and work places! This is a work of hope!"
of the Art of Leadership Training Program: "Bennett and Gibson take a stand for looking more deeply at essential values and how to make our decisions from an authentic values perspective. This
is a thoughtful, powerful, and wonderfully insightful book written by people who clearly have wrestled with difficult real world decisions in a variety of contexts and have come away with deep wisdom and great questions that lead us into moral, ethical, and genuinely values driven decision-making. I look forward to making this wise book recommended reading for my colleagues, clients, students, groups,
and fellow board members".
