Teaser
Day 16 of 28, Stress narrows vision: March 2003. Systems can catch this before it becomes policy.
TLDR
March 2003.
Blair and Bush decided to invade Iraq. Intelligence was disputed. Alternatives were dismissed. The narrow focus on one solution crowded out other options.
Stress narrows vision. Under pressure, leaders lose the ability to see alternatives. Independent checks can identify when perspective is closing.
Systems can catch this before it becomes policy.
Context
We all run on the same human hardware. Let’s build the support and checks to match the pressure of the job.
