Complacency

Leaders and their teams often reach a point where it’s easier to
continue along the path of least resistance than it is to push forward
towards growth and innovation.

To overcome complacency, leaders and their teams must engage in


learning new concepts and skills. It’s only through continuous learning that
complacency can be replaced with motivation, creativity and excitement.

Over-Control
Many leaders lack the ability to truly delegate effectively. This creates a
culture of micromanagement that stifles independent thinking, crushes
creativity, and leaves leaders too focused on the short-term. They may
practice small-picture thinking when, as their organization’s thought
leaders, they should be going big.

Lack of Problem-Solving and Negotiation Skills


Problem-solving and negotiation are essential skills that leaders, teams, and
individuals should master regardless of the sector, type or size of their
organization. However, these skills are not typically taught in a way that
enables true understanding, successful application, and positive outcomes.

Once leaders and their teams master these specific skills, they become
expert negotiators—ready to deploy the strategies they’ve learned in
any business (or personal!) situation.

Assumed Collaboration Through Osmosis


True collaboration doesn’t just happen. It takes a host of communication
and negotiation skills to create and support a collaborative work
environment between leaders, teams, business units, silos, globally
distributed groups, and so forth

The truth, though, is that collaboration takes hard work from everyone
involved, as well as specific learned skills in areas like communication,
negotiation, change management, project management, Scrum
DevOps, agile service, and much more

The Culture
Every organization has its own culture, one forged over time by the
behavior, decisions and interaction of its leaders and workers. This internal
culture can be either a significant asset or a huge liability.
The Ego

Young leaders who have succeeded quickly sometimes forget that they do
not know everything about every situation or know better than everyone
else.

Having that attitude, however, can sidetrack your professional journey. We


in senior management need and appreciate young leaders who can float
fresh ideas, raise concerns and critique strategies. Be humble and
teachable in these interactions; it will make things easier as well as provide
a great path for your professional growth.

The Promises

, young leaders need to determine and consider any long-term outcomes of


their decisions and actions.

It is crucial that any commitment you state to customers or shareholders is


sustainable. One failed deliverable can affect your entire career and also
erode any trust in your ability to lead.

Lack of self-awareness: Self-awareness is being aware of our thoughts


and emotions from moment to moment and, thus, a starting point for
leadership, but also a skill requiring years of self-training.

Limited experience: You were not born leading a team and you probably
do not know how to handle a situation when you firstly find yourself in
charge.

Fatigue and pressure: Being responsible for the team safety and
performance and keep everyone satisfied at the same time, means stress,
physical demands and mental toll.

. Personal sacrifices: Leadership demands giving of oneself to others, in a


way that a leader’s life becomes the property of those he/she serves. Don’t
forget you are at the top, where there is no space for others.

. Communicating properly: This is a much-discussed issue, but


implementation in practice is rather than easy. New leaders may find it
difficult to openly communicate with their team about expectations or to
bring up issues they are encountering.

Lack of Accountability
If you notice that the big things are not getting done and good ideas
fall through the cracks, you lack accountability. We all need
scoreboards that track the results we want

putting this system into place requires self-discipline and focus. Build the
systems you need to support accountability and don’t get distracted until
they are a part of your operations.
Lack of Alignment
the leader, you have to make sure that when the decision is made, your
team is behind it and they move forward in unity to make it happen. And
simple things like making sure your compensation systems are lined up to
reward the desired behavior are critical. Once you align your team’s
incentives to those of the company, magic starts to happen.

Poor Execution
There are three reasons leaders fail to execute. First, they don’t follow their
own plan with discipline. Second, they fail to keep score on what matters.
Third, they don’t have the right people in the right jobs to make it happen.
If you can assemble these three puzzle pieces, you can put your company
on track to win.
