Could you give me the top 3 challenges you face?

I'm confident we can all agree that we each have both personal challenges and critical issues we deal with everyday.  These issues become even more complicated when you are supposed to be a leader, manager or the person who people come to for answers. Making a list of exactly what those are is the first step in solving them.

With that in mind, I would like to ask you a question:

If you could give me the top three challenges you have each day, what would they be?

You don't have to identify yourself.  I would, however, like for you to give me the top three issues that, could you overcome them or get ideas on how to solve them, would make your life easier.

My promise to you is to supply ideas you can use right now. You can email me (Drron@sageconcepts.com) if you don't want to put something in the response to this blog. If I get enough responses and can generate some great ideas, I might just write a book. 

For those of you who want a challenge, consider this. In reading John Baldoni's comments, he wrote that according to Peggy Noonan, a Wall Street Journal columnist, Clare Booth Luce told President John F. Kennedy that a "great man is one sentence."

Here's the challenge:  In one sentence, what is a great leader? In one sentence, what do you want to be remembered for? In one sentence, if you could live life over again knowing what you know now, what would you do more of or do different?

Let me know your challenges and share your sentence.

Funny how all of these correlate

A great leader motivates, delegates and functions with integrity and high moral character....in all situations.
