I’ve thought about decision making by leaders way too much over the last few years. I’m sure there’s some research to find about this, but stress also impacts our ability to make decisions. I’ve witnessed it (and experienced it myself) that when leaders become overextended and stressed, the ability to make those quick, solid judgments even with the best frameworks becomes impaired or impossible.

Great point, Cheyanne! Stress can impact so much of our life, including the ability to make decisions.
