In the first episode of The Invisible Friction, Anna Ahrenfelt and Mårten Stenfors explore why organisations so often find themselves solving the same problems again and again.

Mårten shares stories from more than 25 years of leading change inside complex global organisations — from recurring safety incidents to cultures where fear made people reluctant to speak up. Anna brings the outside perspective, asking what these visible problems might reveal about deeper patterns in the organisation.

Together, they discuss why rules, instructions and quick fixes are rarely enough, what happens when people understand what to do but not why, and why leaders may need to ask more questions instead of having all the answers.

The episode also introduces the inside-and-outside perspective behind The Invisible Friction — and the idea that recurring problems may be signals of something deeper in the system.

A question to take with you:

Which recurring problem have you been trying to solve that might actually point toward something deeper in the system?
