“Decisiveness has long been a desired leadership trait, never more so than today when instant messaging has created new expectations of responsiveness.  Yet true quality of decision-making in a leader is founded on wisdom, experience and sound judgement, whatever the urgency and decibels of the clamor that surrounds them. This book provides timely and profound examples of how some of the hardest decisions in history have been made by men and women of their times.  Reading it creates an oasis for contemplation, reflection—and the opportunity to make far better decisions!” —Elizabeth Corley, Senior Advisor, Allianz Global Investors
