One way of categorizing problems faced by engineering organizations is Keith Grint’s framework of wicked, tame, and critical problems. These problem types, each with their unique characteristics and challenges, require distinct approaches to effectively address them.

Join Andy and Mon-Chaio as they provide practical insights and real-world examples to illustrate how engineering leaders can effectively switch between leadership, management, and command roles depending on the nature of the problem at hand. They also share strategies for developing the flexibility and discernment needed to identify the type of problem and apply the appropriate approach.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of Grint’s problem-solving framework and enhance your ability to lead your engineering team through any challenge. Whether you’re dealing with a wicked, tame, or critical problem, this episode equips you with the tools to tackle it head-on.
