Management only sees symptoms. Agile leadership diagnoses the root cause. If your company constantly gives quick answers to complex problems, frustration is guaranteed.
This is perhaps the most complex blind spot in leadership: the inability to look beyond the symptom.
When only symptoms are seen, such as "the team is demotivated" or "there is a lack of commitment," quick answers are accepted (more meetings, a motivation course...) that only perpetuate the underlying cultural problem.
One of the challenges of agile leaders is to ask the right questions to dismantle the problem of surface-level diagnosis. If we don't address the root error in the analysis, no solution will work.
I invite you to discuss and comment: what is the most common mistake we make when diagnosing a team problem?
