Most businesses don’t fail because of sudden, unexpected events. They fail because of massive, obvious risks—Gray Rhinos—that leaders see coming but still ignore.

If you’ve ever delayed action on a problem you knew was coming, this conversation will change the way you think about risk and decision-making. Our guest, Michele Wucker, coined the term Gray Rhino to describe the predictable, high-impact risks that most leaders avoid—until it’s too late.

  • The 4 questions every entrepreneur and CEO must ask to get ahead of business risks
