"Two business management professors weigh in on how large-scale and foreseeable disasters, such as September 11th and the collapse of Enron, could be avoided by taking preventative actions. Applicable to corporate managers, policymakers, and other organizational leaders, the lessons here may not be novel, but do represent one necessary component of visionary leadership: being aware of the eminent signs of disaster. Bazerman and Watkins cite a spate of Gore's Senate testimonies and several EPA reports which all have indicated the gravity of climate change, as well as Congressional hearings on corporate auditing-consulting independence, all as omens of major threats to come that largely went unheeded by decision-makers."
