Brandjes blussen als rationeel gedrag in een complex systeem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Een brandjes blussen cultuur is <strong>geen mislukking van mensen<\/strong>, maar een <strong>logisch antwoord van leiderschap<\/strong> in een complex, tijdkritisch systeem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Volgens Karl Weick en zijn werk over zingeving, mensen onder druk hebben de neiging om:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>te reageren op wat het <strong>meest zichtbaar en dringend is<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>betekenis construeren uit wat we nu <strong>ervaren<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>handelen op basis van <strong>ervaring en waarschijnlijkheid<\/strong>, eerder dan volledigheid of analyse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bij nachtelijke operaties met hoge volumes betekent dit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>een incident <em>voelt<\/em> re\u00ebler dan een trend,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bevestiging <em>voelt<\/em> nuttiger dan analyseren,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>actie <em>voelt<\/em> veiliger dan uitstel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brandjes blussen is daarom functioneel gedrag<\/strong> in een omgeving waar een expliciete leerstructuur ontbreekt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

With more than 35 years of international leadership and management experience, Jan has held executive and managing director roles in complex, operationally intensive environments, including global logistics and high-tech manufacturing. He currently works at the intersection of leadership, transformation, and execution, combining strategic clarity with deep operational realism. Jan specializes in supporting leaders and leadership teams facing moments that matter: organizational change, increased pressure, loss of direction, declining trust, or career transitions such as redundancy. His work focuses on strengthening self-leadership, decision-making, accountability, and team effectiveness in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) contexts. Known for his calm presence and sharp questioning, Jan helps leaders move from reflection to action \u2014 without simplification or theatrics. His approach is grounded in evidence-based coaching, real-world experience, and a strong belief that sustainable performance starts with leaders who can lead themselves. Jan is the founder of Salomons.Coach and a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council. He regularly writes and speaks on leadership, resilience, and navigating work and careers in times of uncertainty.","jobTitle":"Career & Leadership Coach","alumniOf":[{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"Warwick University - Business School - Executive MBA","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.wbs.ac.uk\/"},{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"Coaching Training Institute (CTI)","sameAs":"https:\/\/coactive.com\/global\/"},{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"HBR Advisory Council","sameAs":"https:\/\/hbr.org\/advisory-council"},{"@type":"EducationalOrganization","name":"Pedagogical Technical University (HBO)","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.fontys.nl\/Home.htm"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/salomons.coach\/nl\/from-firefighting-to-learning-the-leadership-shift-operations-need\/#webpage","url":"https:\/\/salomons.coach\/nl\/from-firefighting-to-learning-the-leadership-shift-operations-need\/","name":"From Firefighting to Learning: The Leadership Shift Operations Need - salomons.coach","description":"Firefighting is a rational response in complex operations\u2014but it prevents learning.
