Real-Life Decision Making -- Solution

You let the artist continue with her work.

As she carries on, you see that she is enduring more and more stress. She has been working for 11 hours and has barely let herself take a break. The last time she went home was at 6 a.m. that day to have a quick shower, only to immediately come back and continue working. And she is still not capturing the effect the film director desires.

"It's always an important issue of casting," says Tom Bertino. "Sometimes an artist will have an assignment and they'll just be beating their head against it and they just won't be getting it right."

After a few more attempts, the artist reluctantly comes to you.

"I just can't do it," she tells you with defeat on her face. She is exhausted, stressed beyond belief, and disappointed in herself. You see that this is a huge failure for her. Ultimately, you give the shot to somebody else.

"It doesn't mean that they're a bad artist," says Bertino. "It's just that the match is wrong."
