Course Description
People tend to think that good judgment equals positive outcomes. This is because when a person exercises good judgment, they hope to experience something positive. But, sometimes, even with the best judgment, we still experience adverse outcomes. So, what does it mean to have good judgment if we can’t evaluate our choices based on the results they bring?
This course will help you understand what it means to have good judgment and how this relates to decision-making. You’ll improve the way you discern someone’s character through observing habits and communication styles. You’ll explore the six basic components of good judgment. You’ll know more about why having good judgment is important in the workplace. Being able to recognize someone’s character and how they behave can help you stay more positive and productive. This course will help you evaluate character traits, such as trustworthiness and competence. We will cover how to use good judgment when you have competing priorities, difficult conversations, or a stressful workday. Learn to apply this information to real-life situations with our course on Using Personal Judgment.
