Episode Summary
Europe’s firefighters are warning that they are underfunded, understaffed, and unprepared for another severe wildfire season. But while the article we discuss frames these challenges as a readiness problem, it also highlights a broader leadership issue: organizations often use the same word to describe fundamentally different problems.
In this episode, we examine why defining the problem is the first step toward building organizational readiness, and how separating hazards, mitigation, capabilities, and resources leads to better decisions and better investments.
