[Solved] Discuss a current or past leadership challenge

By Wednesday midnight, post in Week 2 Assignments as a written text submission (not an attachment) and in no more than 300 words, a current or past leadership challenge you face; you will use this challenge to prepare your case analysis paper due in Week 5, and respond to discussion threads in weeks 2 – 4. Your leadership challenge may be an organizational problem such as a difficult employee(s), a new initiative, and/or opportunity. In identifying your challenge, position yourself as the leader with or without position power; if you don’t manage others, your challenge could address influencing colleagues. The challenge must include relationships with others; it is not a personal challenge such as finding a job.  Although many students identify challenges they face in their workplace, some use other organizations in which they volunteer. In addition, to clearly and concisely state the leadership issue, initiative, and/or opportunity as illustrated in the examples below, briefly discuss areas of concern, key players (names optional), and your goal(s) in addressing the challenge. This description can be used to describe the challenge or situation in your Week 5 paper. Here are some examples of leadership issues other students have successfully used without any details such as areas of concern, players involved, or goals. The leadership challenge is a leader who
