Leaders everywhere tell Chris the two key challenges they face are “not enough time” and “too much work”. These cause a ripple effect of problems - potentially 25% less work done than achievable, 30% less effort from people than they could give and poor strategic alignment, so reducing organisational performance by up to 25% and even 10%+ of potential lost profit.

They can then reverse those deficits to deliver the success which they and their organisations should be getting, potentially becoming a top 20% leaders versus peers for the rest of their career.
