We’ve all done it – tiptoed around a problem, convinced that raising it will spark drama, backlash, or bruised egos. So instead, we smile, nod… and quietly let the problem fester.
In business, those unspoken issues take the form of sacred cows – outdated products we protect, clunky processes we defend, or decisions no one dares question because “that’s just how it’s always been.” The fear? That challenging them will create chaos.
But here’s the thing: the reaction we fear rarely matches reality.
Ishan takes a scalpel to those sacred cows. He examines how confronting brutal facts – not avoiding them – is what unlocks real excellence.
Because avoiding hard conversations doesn’t preserve harmony—it delays progress. For a copy of Ishan’s book, Unlock, please visit:
