Choice Costs: Every decision has a cost. Giving up is also a choice, and therefore, it carries a cost as well. The purpose of spending money is to gain the efficiency or benefit of a chosen option. Organizations can be at risk if leaders fail to correlate costs and benefits when making decisions or relinquishing opportunities. For example, if a CEO decides to hire an employee, there is a cost associated with wages, and if the employee cannot perform their role corresponding to the wage, the organization suffers a loss. Ultimately, if the CEO fires that employee, the organization must find a replacement, incurring additional costs in the process. A CEO who spends excessively on emotional indulgences is a harmful leader. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Architecture has developed in response to the epidemic. The city was designed to mitigate the risk of outbreaks. However, its high population density renders it susceptible to epidemics. A potential solution to this issue involves the construction of a water supply and sewage system, which safeguards individuals from waterborne infectious diseases (e.g., cholera) by effectively separating and burying water and sewage underground. Nonetheless, the advent of vaccines has facilitated the existence of megacities with populations exceeding 10 million people. Indeed, microorganisms predominantly populate the Earth. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
