You’re Solving the Wrong Problem with Winnie da Silva
Wednesday, 22 April, 2026
“In leadership, the visible problem is often just the symptom.” - Winnie da SilvaIs 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 causeHow pressure and urgency push us into solving the wrong thingThe difference between surface issues and deeper organizational dynamicsA real example of how misalignment at the top created slow decision-makingThe role of trust, expectations, and avoided conversations in team challengesSimple questions I use to dig deeper and challenge my own assumptionsHow pausing, gathering input, and testing solutions leads to better outcomesResourcesWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.org
