具体描述
The Go Point—the moment of truth when you have to say “yes” or “no” when it’s time to get off the fence.
Michael Useem—through dramatic storytelling—shows how to master the art and science of being decisive. He 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.
• Why on earth did Robert E. Lee send General George Pickett on an almost suicidal charge against the Union lines at Gettysburg?
• How does the leader of a firefighting crew make life-or-death decisions, directing his people—with little information about weather patterns to guide him—to go up or down the mountain? One direction means safety, the other danger.
• 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 fulfill your responsibilities?
Michael Useem makes you feel as if “you are there,” right in the center of the action. He was there: tramping up and down the mountain where firefighters made their momentous decisions; walking the battlefield at Gettysburg to see for himself just what General Pickett faced before making his ill-fated charge; going into a trading pit where million-dollar buy-and-sell decisions are made that affect fortunes of both the firm and the person making the call.
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.

评分游学美国 （七） 今天大概是整个行程中最有趣的一天了。沃顿教授迈克犹西姆带我们去参观GETTYSBURG，盖茨堡是沃顿的一个活生生的大课堂，教授曾带领无数的学生到这里学习“战略决策”课程。来美国之前学校有资料发给大家预读美国南北战争的历史，我这个懒人只是匆匆完成了个作...
用户评价
不得不说，这本书的结构设计简直是鬼斧神工。它没有采用传统叙事中那种平铺直叙的写法，而是通过碎片化的叙事单元，搭建起一个庞大而又精密的叙事空间。我花了很长的时间才将这些看似不相关的片段串联起来，而一旦联结成功，那种豁然开朗的震撼感，简直无与伦比。它考验读者的专注力，要求你像侦探一样去搜集每一个微小的线索，去推敲每一个看似偶然的场景设置。我尤其喜欢作者在处理叙事视角转换时的那种游刃有余，时而沉浸在主角的绝望之中，时而又跳脱出来，以上帝视角审视整个局势的荒谬与必然。这种多层次的阅读体验，极大地丰富了文本的内涵，使得每一次重读都能发现新的含义和更深层的意图。它不是那种读完即弃的快餐文学，而是需要你投入心力去解构、去消化的艺术品。
评分这本书的开篇就牢牢抓住了我的注意力，那种笔力雄健、一气呵成的叙事节奏，简直让人欲罢不能。作者对人物心理的刻画入木三分，即便是配角，也拥有着极其饱满的血肉和复杂的情感纠葛。我尤其欣赏他那种不动声色间就将宏大背景融入到个体命运之中的高超技巧。故事的推进并非线性，而是充满了巧妙的回溯与前瞻，像一张精心编织的网，每当你以为看透了某个环节时，总有新的线索悄然浮现，将你引向更深邃的迷宫。读到中期，那种扑面而来的时代气息和浓郁的人文关怀，让我几度停下来，细细品味那些充满哲思的对白。这本书的语言本身就是一种享受，它不像某些作品那样故作高深或堆砌辞藻，而是自然而然地流淌出一种历经沉淀后的韵味，精准地传达着作者想要表达的复杂情绪。整个阅读过程，更像是一场与作者并肩而行的精神探险，充满着惊喜与挑战。
评分初翻开时，我有些担心这种厚重的题材会显得沉闷，但事实证明我的担忧是多余的。作者的文风极具张力，他深谙如何在高潮处戛然而止，留下足够的悬念和回味空间。这本书的对白设计堪称教科书级别，没有一句废话，所有的对话都承载着信息量和人物动机，对话的交锋如同刀光剑影，暗藏玄机。特别是那些关键性的转折点，处理得干净利落，既不拖泥带水，又将情感的爆发力维持到了顶点。这本书的节奏感掌握得非常精准，时而急促如鼓点，时而舒缓如长歌，完美地服务于故事的情感主线。看完之后，我久久不能平复，那种被故事完全掌控的感觉，是很多作品无法给予的。
评分这本书带来的阅读感受，可以用“压抑而又充满希望”来形容。作者对人性阴暗面的揭露毫不留情，那些关于权力、背叛与生存挣扎的描绘，真实得让人不寒而栗。但更令人称道的是，在所有这些冷峻的现实面前，作者始终没有放弃对“光亮”的捕捉。无论是微小的善意，还是在绝境中迸发出的个体反抗精神，都像黑夜中的萤火虫，虽然微弱，却坚韧不拔。这种张力，让我的心绪随着情节的大开大合而剧烈起伏。我甚至感觉自己仿佛亲身经历了书中人物的苦难与挣扎。这种强烈的代入感，来自于作者对细节的极致把控，他描写的每一个场景、每一种气味、每一种声音，都仿佛触手可及，构建了一个极具真实感的沉浸式世界。
评分这本书的后劲实在太大了，以至于我合上封面之后，脑海中仍然不断回放着其中的画面和哲思。作者似乎是一位对历史和哲学都有深厚造诣的智者，他用故事作为载体，探讨着关于“存在”的本质命题。这种宏大的思考并非空泛的理论说教，而是紧密地嵌入在角色每一次艰难的抉择之中。我欣赏作者的克制，他没有直接给出答案，而是将问题抛给了读者，让你带着书中的困惑去审视现实生活。这本书的想象力同样值得称赞，它在扎实的现实基础之上，构建了许多令人拍案叫绝的奇观，这些奇观的出现并非为了炫技，而是为了更好地服务于主题的深化。这是一次深刻的阅读体验，它不仅提供了娱乐，更带来了一种精神上的洗礼和拓展。
