So true. It is remarkable how we as leaders can be oblivious to the red flags around us. Or in this case, the boiling water.

Re: Different metaphor. Years ago, I attended a talk by Morgan McCall. His talk was about Executive Derailment and he used the term "Slippery Slope". That is, it's easy at first to do something that goes against your values, just a little white lie, a little slip here or there. But pretty soon you find yourself making cuts that get you quickly too far down the slope and unable to recover. Not exactly the same as the 'gradualism' but maybe similar enough. The point I think is not to rest of your laurels and get too comfortable.
