We've all heard of the 'HIPPO' - "The highest paid persons opinion", but were you aware of the other dangerous product management animals?

Thanks to Daniel Ma for bringing this visual to my attention.

- Work with these dangerous animals to help them understand how their presence can be dysfunctional. Approach so with empathy, not blame.

- Experiment with the below approaches and see what you learn from them, remote subjectivity from the equation

- Use an agile game to contextualise the consequences of context switching and constant interruption. Try 'The name game' - Link in the comments.

Let me know your thoughts. Have you encountered these dangerous animals in the wild? What were your experiences with them?
