Episode Synopsis

In consulting for software, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies, we distinguish between technical problems and adaptive challenges, a crucial concept from Heifetz and Linsky’s "Leadership on the Line." Technical problems have known solutions, while adaptive challenges demand organizational transformation and stakeholder involvement. Misidentifying these can lead to ineffective solutions, especially among managers accustomed to solving technical issues.
