The Go Point

The Go Point is the moment of truth when it's time to get off the fence and you have to say 'yes' or 'no' – the point at which you have to be decisive.

This book sets out to help you master the art and science of being decisive. Michael Useem places you smack in the middle of people facing their go point, where actions - or lack of them - determined the fates of individuals, companies, and countries.

You've just assumed responsibility for a scandal-wracked corporation, a company teetering on the brink of disaster. What you decide over the course of the next several days will have consequences for thousands of employees and investors. How do you fulfil your responsibilities?

You'll discover why some decisions were flawless, perfectly on target, and others utterly disastrous. Most of all, you'll learn how to make the right calls yourself, whether you're changing your career, hiring an assistant, launching a product, or deciding on a potential acquisition or merger.

Smartly written and offering unusual insights into the minds of decision makers such as General Lee, The Go Point will provide the guidance for you to move with confidence when it's your turn to get off the fence.
