Description

Stan McChrystal presents a new system for responding to risk in business and life. He identifies ten dimensions of control that can be adjusted at any given time, including narrative, bias, action, timing, adaptability, communication, technology, diversity, structure, and leadership. These factors are often overlooked or underutilized, leading individuals and organizations to fail to mitigate risk. McChrystal draws on compelling examples from military history and the business world to illustrate how these ten dimensions can be applied in practice. By considering them constantly, readers can improve their preparedness and build a strong defense against various types of risk. The book offers infinitely practical exercises to help readers apply this new system to their own lives and organizations.
