Leadership Challenge in the Organization

In this section I have to describe a leadership challenge faced by my company. I work in an I.T. organization and my company is suffering from the crisis. During the crisis, the main challenge for leaders is to mobilize the organization to identify the challenges they face and develop adaptive capacity to face them. Same is the case with my organization. At that time the leaders of my company were facing the challenge to mobilize the organization. Difficult times are times of crisis, change and opportunity. They are not necessarily bad times. Hard times may be adverse or not depending on how you face it.

At that time of crisis, my company was facing with the difficulties of identifying the challenges they were facing. So, it was the main task of the leaders at that time to identify those issues and develop some adaptive capacity ...
