MCD 5 : Anticipating Risk and Precaution at the Board Level
Prisoners of their own minds, directors and boards tend to ignore risks they cannot precisely identify and calculate. Reactions to unexpected threats can create additional risk and may lead to slippery slopes or even disruptive crisis, involving loss of reputation, identity issues, reduced access to resources or even suspension of one’s licence to operate.
Freed from the constraints of our own beliefs, a proactive and courageous attitude to unknown risks reinforces the protection of key assets and brings objectivity to what otherwise might be emotionally driven reactions.
By carefully combining rational analysis and subjective warning signals, directors can learn to act with more precaution and even prepare their board for good surprises: “The mystery of mysteries is the gateway of marvels” (Laozi).
