You’re Solving the Wrong Problem with Winnie da Silva
-
Narrated by:

By:
“In leadership, the visible problem is often just the symptom.” - Winnie da Silva
Is the problem you’re trying to solve actually the real problem or just the most obvious one?
In this episode, I unpack why so many leadership challenges don’t get resolved the way we expect, and how quickly jumping to solutions can keep us stuck in the same cycles. I share a real client story and walk through how to slow down just enough to uncover what’s really driving the issue, so you can create solutions that actually last.
You’ll hear me discuss:
- Why the visible problem is often just a symptom, not the root cause
- How pressure and urgency push us into solving the wrong thing
- The difference between surface issues and deeper organizational dynamics
- A real example of how misalignment at the top created slow decision-making
- The role of trust, expectations, and avoided conversations in team challenges
- Simple questions I use to dig deeper and challenge my own assumptions
- How pausing, gathering input, and testing solutions leads to better outcomes
