Sunk Cost Fallacy
The Sunk Cost Fallacy, a behavioral economics principle, reveals how individuals tend to continue investing resources into a project or decision despite diminishing returns or negative outcomes due to the reluctance to waste past investments. When incorporating the Sunk Cost Fallacy into employee messaging, it is important to address the fallacy by emphasizing the importance of future gains and potential benefits rather than being anchored by past investments.
