Don’t Look Up

Don’t Look Up

What a combination, the release under Christmas of a ‘Disaster Movie’ that talks about a comet!

The obvious reference to another comet, that of the crib, and to another catastrophe, that of global warming.

A clear parallelism also with the emergency that we know well, the pandemic, but above all, the most hidden, atavistic and terrible defect of Homo Sapiens makes its way throughout the film:  deceit!

How do I react to the problem? In the film, as often in personal and corporate life, we simply try to discredit, ignore, hide reality, instead of thanking the group of experts for having warned us in time and for offering us the chance to save ourselves.

Those who deal with ‘change management’, after all, know that this is also what we are talking about: the most difficult thing is to break the mold, personalisms, silos, areas of power, comfort zones.

And not only that: they also knows that consent, power and money are worth more than the lives of people, of the planet, of society.

Even in companies there are warning signs, traceable in a correct interpretation of the data, so to prevent catastrophes, bankruptcies, closures.

Often, however, it is preferred to use ‘story telling’ full of successes, not of mistakes avoided and to be avoided; it is said of “how good we are!”, but certainly not of ‘cassandre’ that is isolated and made harmless, defusing in fact the opportunity to progress.

Foresight is a managerial gift given by wisdom, experience, which is offered to avoid dangerous situations, not to force, as Edoardo Bennato evoked in the ‘evergreen’ EAA, to catapult down into another world / company … MetaElsewhere.

“EAA qui le cose si mettono male quasi quasi premo anch’io quel bottone E mi catapulto giù

EAA ma come vanno forte Non si sono ancora accorti di niente E continuano a cantare …”
