How fast do you solve problems?
Effective leaders solve many problems even before people realize that they are problems.
Because centered, high performance leaders are always looking for ways to improve their processes, revolutionize their designs, and develop their people, they are constantly exposed to hints of resistance. Big problems often give out signals of dysfunction long before anyone notices them.
As a leader, how will you see these signals soon enough to optimize your impact?
What problems are lurking just below the surface of your most important process?
Who on your team needs additional resources to get the job done?
What skills need additional attention and training to optimize your team's performance?
What will you do today to diagnose a hidden problem?
