Drawing on decades of in-the-field research and consultancy work, renowned leadership consultant Dr. Katie Best shows how to solve ten of the most common—and complex—leadership problems

When leaders receive executive coaching, the results can be powerful. However, coaching isn’t always available in the moment, either because the need is urgent or because the resources aren’t there. That’s when leaders can turn to Dr. Katie Best. 

In this book, Best works through ten of the trickiest and most common leadership challenges: avoiding burnout, making good decisions, increasing influence, working through cultural issues, improving employee performance, engaging staff, managing teams, implementing strategy, leading change, and handling the new hybrid workplace reality. Drawing on insights from leading research and the real-world experiences of her clients, Best’s SOLVE framework helps leaders find a solution that fits their unique needs and gives them the tools to tackle any other problems they might encounter going forward. Practical and engaging, The Ten Toughest Leadership Problems and How to Solve Them is an essential self-coaching handbook for leaders at any level.
