Talk About the Turd on the Table

It’s not uncommon for an organization to have a so-called “turd on the table”: that unpleasant but significant topic that most people would just prefer to avoid (and pretend that it’s a brownie, instead of what everyone really sees). The actual subject matter can take many forms, from toxic culture to financial improprieties to external industry shifts. Whatever the topic, addressing it directly is imperative for your company’s growth. This flight will help you uncover issues that may otherwise be swept under the rug.
