The dead elephant in the middle of the room
"Many times in the corporate world, you will find yourself facing the "dead elephant in the middle of the room."This is the issue that everyone is aware of, but somehow nobody mentions. It could be emotionally charged; it could feel too big to confront; it could be that nobody is comfortable bringing it up. If you are a manager, it might very well be that you are the only one who doesn't see it."
Dave Grey has written a very useful article on that dead elephant.
His communication bias is very welcome.
I also found the idea of calling it a dead elephant or in the case of the comment by Dennis Arter, a "dead moose" and dealing with it as such, a very applicable strategy. Maybe here in Australia, we should call it a dead kangaroo!
