How Extreme Pressure Warps Decision-Making: A Budapest Panel Explores
A panel on decision-making under extreme pressure will take place in Budapest on February 18th. The event, hosted by the conservative think tank MCC, will explore how high-stakes scenarios affect human judgement. Among the speakers is Benedikt Böhm, an extreme mountaineer and CEO of Lupin Lights System.
The discussion will focus on how clear thinking breaks down when irreversible consequences are at stake. Experts will examine which mental processes fail under real pressure and why. Böhm's philosophy—rooted in meticulous planning, disciplined execution, and strict risk control—will form the backbone of the conversation.
The panel aims to apply these principles to business, leadership, and psychology. Attendees can expect insights on setting ambitious goals, calculating risks, and handling unforeseen challenges. Fear and exceptional circumstances will also be addressed, with pressure treated as a practical consequence rather than an emotional state.
Böhm's dual experience in extreme sports and corporate leadership positions him as a key voice. However, the event will not delve into specific examples from his career.
The February 18th discussion offers a structured approach to decision-making in high-pressure environments. Participants will leave with strategies for planning, risk assessment, and maintaining discipline when outcomes are irreversible. The panel's findings may prove valuable for professionals facing critical choices in unpredictable situations.
