Holger Nils Pohl: Tackling complex problems using visual thinking


Listen Later

What type of stimuli helps you to think?

Leaders often shy away from using visual stimuli as it can be seen as gimmicky. But knowing where, when, and how to use it can transform how problems are solved.

My guest in his episode is Holger Nils Pohl, one of the best at using visual thinking to tackle complex problems. He discusses how to apply it, and the tools you can use to help you and your team use it in a meaningful way. He also shares how to avoid doing it badly, something many leaders can struggle with.

He gives insight into how he uses his background in teaching within his work, how he deals with perfectionism and why autism is his superpower.

“A lot of the struggles we have are actually caused by missing clarity” – Holger Nils Pohl
