There’s an elephant in the room! Everyone KNOWS there’s an elephant in the room, and they keep glancing at it—except for one person who is highly committed to ignoring the elephant. The elephant is making a mess. It’s taking up all the air and space in the room, and it’s already crushed poor Bob. Yet instead of talking about the elephant in the room, people are afraid to mention that there’s an elephant. Some people get so uncomfortable that they leave the room, but still say nothing. Everyone is hoping that the person who is ignoring the elephant will finally acknowledge it, so they can do something about it, but they aren’t sure how to go about it.
In this episode, Brett and Joe unpack the phenomenon of the elephant in the room. They explore:
- The dynamics that create this situation
- How looking directly at these issues can lead to healing and growth
- The importance of addressing difficult topics in both personal and professional settings
- How to create a culture where individuals feel safe to express their thoughts and feelings
- The need for leaders to model this behavior
- The significance of conflict in fostering trust and connection
