Risk

A User's Guide
Book • 2021
In this book, General Stanley McChrystal and Anna Butrico present a new way to understand and manage risk.

Instead of focusing on the probability of events, they emphasize the importance of managing the interface through which risks can be controlled.

The authors identify ten dimensions of control—communication, narrative, structure, technology, diversity, bias, action, timing, adaptability, and leadership—that can be adjusted to maintain a healthy 'Risk Immune System.

' Drawing on examples from military history, business, and other fields, the book provides practical exercises and insights to help individuals and organizations prepare for and respond to various types of risk.
