Summary:
"A 'gray rhino' is a highly probable, high impact yet neglected threat: kin to both the elephant in the room and the improbable and unforeseeable black swan. Gray rhinos are not random surprises, but occur after a series of warnings and visible evidence. The bursting of the housing bubble in 2008, the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters, the new digital technologies that upended the media world, the fall of the Soviet Union - all were evident well in advance. Why do leaders and decision makers keep failing to address obvious dangers before they spiral out of control? Drawing on her background in policy formation and crisis management, as well as interviews with world leaders, Michele Wucker shows how to recognize and strategically counter looming high impact threats. For managers, investors, planners, policy makers, and anyone who wants to understand how to profit by avoiding getting trampled. Michele Wucker is the author of Lockout: Why America Keeps Getting Immigration Wrong When Our Prosperity Depends on Getting It Right and Why the Cocks Fight: Dominicans, Haitians, and the Struggle for Hispaniola"--Provided by publisher.
