108: How to Recognize and Act on the Obvious Dangers We Ignore, With Michele Wucker PROFITABLE HAPPINESS®
-
- Management
A "Gray Rhino" is an obvious danger that we tend to ignore, similar in concept to the analogy of a "white elephant" or a "black swan". It's charging at us, and we can see it, but for some reason we completely ignore it. Why is it that so many leaders and decision-makers fall into the trap of failing to address these obvious dangers before they cause unintended harm? What can we do to take action next time a Gray Rhino is evident in our personal or professional lives?
In this episode, we meet Michele Wucker, who is a Speaker, Strategist, and Bestselling Author of THE GRAY RHINO 🦏
Some of my favorite quotes from Michele Wucker (paraphrased):
"A Gray Rhino is a clear and present danger in business and life."
"What's your personal Gray Rhino?"
"The Gray Rhino phenomenon is manifested in 5 stages: Denial, Muddling, Diagnosing, Panic, and Action."
