The Fatigue-Based Decision-Making Framework

A business leader who is fatigued may make poor decisions, such as prioritizing speed over accuracy
The framework is based on a study conducted by Dr. Michael Platt, where he found that wrestlers who were fatigued made poorer decisions in the third period of a match. This led to the development of a decision-making framework that takes into account the impact of fatigue.
