Description

Jason tells the tragic story of Man Gulch, where 13 smoke jumpers died clinging to their tools and old training instead of adapting to a fire that had outpaced their plan. He contrasts them with foreman Wag Dodge, who invented an escape fire on the spot when the real problem shifted from fighting the fire to surviving it. The lesson lands squarely on construction leaders still relying on old, worn out solutions for problems that have already changed.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why the smoke jumpers died clinging to their old tools and training
•  How Wag Dodge invented a new solution when the real problem shifted
•  Why new circumstances demand new skills, not old habits
•  The danger of solving a new problem with yesterday's answers
•  Why relying on past solutions can be a prescription for failure

If you are still leaning on yelling, pushing, or CPM style habits to solve today's problems, the honest question is whether you are adapting to the real fire in front of you, or still running uphill with a backpack that is only slowing you down.
