Harvard's Judgment Professor: Numbers Don't Make Decisions; People Do

Reza Satchu, Harvard Business School senior lecturer and serial entrepreneur, argues that judgment—not data or intellect—is the scarcest asset in the age of AI. He discusses how judgment can be taught through deliberate risk-taking and decision-making, and shares his experience walking away from a $1.1 billion buyout offer for his student housing company to eventually sell it for $1.7 billion. Satchu emphasizes that evaluating leadership judgment during crises is crucial for investors assessing company management.
