A renowned leadership consultant offers an essential guide for leaders, drawing on decades of in-the-field research and consulting

As an executive coach, Dr. Katie Best has helped countless leaders achieve powerful results. But getting the right coaching isn’t always possible, whether because the problem is too urgent or because the resources aren’t there. That’s when leaders can turn to this book.
 
The Ten Toughest Leadership Problems and How to Solve Them is an essential self-coaching handbook for leaders at any level. Best helps leaders struggling to avoid burnout, make good decisions, increase influence within their organization, align with or shift a company’s culture, improve employee performance, engage staff, manage teams, implement strategy, lead change, and navigate the hybrid workplace. Her SOLVE framework breaks problem-solving into five manageable steps: state the problem, to untangle complex, interrelated issues; open the box, to gather information; lay out the solution, to make a plan to fix the problem; venture forth, to put that plan into action; and elevate your learning, to further develop relevant skills.
 
The product of two decades of coaching and executive education work, this practical book equips leaders with the tools they need to solve these ten common problems and any other tough challenges they may face.
