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 to 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.”
