Good Judgement

Good Judgement - Harnessing Justice Theories for Real-World Leadership Choices
By Bhargavi Rao

Good judgement is more than rules, metrics, or polished presentations-it is the ability to see what truly matters, make fair decisions, and build trust in complex organisations. Drawing on centuries of philosophical insight, from Aristotle to modern behavioural ethics, Bhargavi Rao shows how leaders can apply justice theories to navigate real-world challenges.

Through vivid case studies and actionable reflections, this book explores the moral dilemmas leaders face every day: promotions, policy design, compliance, power dynamics, and accountability. Readers will learn how to recognise ethical blind spots, balance competing interests, and cultivate organisational cultures where fairness, integrity, and trust thrive.

Featuring frameworks like distributive justice, procedural justice, moral intuitionism, and restorative justice, this guide transforms abstract principles into practical tools for decision-making.

Harnessing Justice is ideal for executives, managers, and anyone seeking to lead with conscience and clarity in today's fast-paced world.
