In “Why Great Leaders Don’t Take Yes for an Answer,” Harvard Business School’s Michael Roberto delves into the art of decision-making. Through compelling case studies from events like the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and JFK’s Bay of Pigs Invasion, Roberto illustrates how leaders can promote honest, constructive dissent and skepticism to improve decisions and build consensus. The book combines historical examples with Roberto’s extensive research on executive decision-making, offering valuable insights into managing teams, mitigating risks, and promoting ethical practices.
