“The first solution isn’t always the best one—make sure you’re solving the right problem.”
In this episode of Lead with Culture, Tony Ferraro, Director of Coaching at Floyd, joins Kate Volman to explore why leaders and teams often focus on the wrong problems. Too often, instead of uncovering the root cause, they jump straight to solutions that may not address the real issue. So, how can we break this cycle? By asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and avoiding the trap of first-option bias.
