As a leader are you struggling with
• developing managerial effectiveness
• inspiring others

• leading a team
• guiding change
• managing internal stakeholders and politics?
You are not alone.
A White Paper by researchers at the Centre for Creative Leadership identified the top challenges facing leaders by surveying leaders from seven different countries – China/Hong Kong, Egypt, India, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States.
The above six issues ranked among the top 10 challenges leaders face in each country. From our work with many local companies we know these are the sorts of issues keeping our leaders awake at night.
The researchers offered these recommendations as how to overcome these challenges.
• Set goals. Be proactive in setting goals, and with setting the timelines and deadlines required to meet those goals.
• Delegate more. Delegating can, in fact, make you more productive. The act of delegation can also empower the people to whom you have given work.
• Maximise your unique value-add. Among all the organisational priorities, focus on the important tasks that only you can do. You will maximise your specific value to the organisation. Delegate everything else.
• Gain some role clarity. Understand what your work does and does not entail. Then practice and be comfortable saying “no.”
• Continue to develop skills. Develop relationship skills, skills to enact change and skills to cope with organisational politics.
