How to make challenge-seeking a habit
                     How to make challenge-seeking a 
habit 
Get your team together and regularly 
brainstorm to uncover and assess all possible 
challenges that you may not yet have fully 
recognized and tackled. These challenges may 
already exist or they may be ones that you 
foresee arising in the near future.
Different Forms/Kinds of Challenges:
• •You notice it's becoming harder to hire engineers 
• • Your plant is running out of an essential raw 
material 
• • A key client seems to be having worsening cash 
flow problems
•  • Key staff are retiring with no successors in place
• • A new competitor has just launched a lower-
priced product that may take market share.
Be Careful:
• Be aware that your eagerness to take on challenging 
tasks may have its down-Sides such as needing to 
work longer hours and the risk of becoming 
stressed. Do be careful about going overboard on 
this one and seeking out problems to solve just for 
the sake of it and being viewed as someone who 
finds a challenge hiding behind every corner and 
lurking under every stone. Your team may become 
angry that you're creating more work for them 
unnecessarily.
Plan To Tackle With Challenges:
• • Involve the relevant team members and 
colleagues to help you analyze and understand each 
issue and to decide how you'll tackle and solve it. 
• • Decide whether the challenge needs to be 
responded to now, at a later date or can even be 
ignored altogether
•  • Agree how you'll obtain the necessary resources 
and approvals to implement your plan of action.
