Thanks for invitation,
As a manger or leader, I do not like to meet some problems in the organization, most of same in general:
1- Miscoordination between the organization's departements.
2- Unclear decisions by senior management without any discussion.
3- Rumors.

Thank you for the invitation.
Problems are solutions in disguise and hence every manager or a leader will like to meet and solve problems within his reach.
We live in rapidly changing times, especially for businesses. Consider that, in a single generation, businesses have had to adapt to entirely new marketing channels (web and social), decide how to invest in and utilize new technologies, and compete on a global stage — things that were barely imaginable to our parents’ and grandparents’ generations.
Some of the factors that contribute to a leader or a manager's success are being open with these:
Uncertainty about the future
Being able to predict customer trends, market trends, etc. is vital to a changing economic climate, but not every CEO has Warren Buffett-like predictive powers. Bringing in a consultant trained in reading and predicting those all-important trends could be the difference between a bright future and a murky one.
Financial management
Many CEOs I know are ideas people; that means they’re great at the big picture and disruptive thinking, but less good with things like cash flow, profit margins, reducing costs, financing, etc. Small and medium businesses may not require a full-time CFO, but would do better to employ a financial consultant who can step into the role as needed.
Monitoring performance
Using a meaningful set of rounded performance indicators that provide the business with insights about how well it is performing is key. Most business people I know are not experts in how to develop KPIs, how to avoid the key pitfalls and how to best communicate metrics so that they inform decision-making. In most cases companies rely on overly simple finance indicators that just clog up the corporate reporting channels.
Regulation and compliance
As markets and technologies shift, so do rules and regulations. Depending on your industry, it can make much more sense to bring in a consultant to help with these areas rather than trying to understand the complexities yourself — and risk fines or worse for non-compliance.
Competencies and recruiting the right talent
Again, a small or medium-sized business might not need full-time human resources or recruiting staff, but during peak growth periods, finding the right people and developing the right skills and competencies is the key to a sustainable future. Bringing in a consultant with the expertise to find exactly the workers you need would be a wise investment.
Technology
As technologies change practically at the speed of light, it’s vital for companies to innovate or be left behind — but many CEOs started their careers and businesses before many of these technologies even existed! Consultants can be vital for integrating new technologies, in particular mobile, app development, and cloud computing.
Exploding data
Grandpa’s generation certainly didn’t have to deal with terabytes of data or worry about what to do with it. 90% of the world’s data was created in the past two years and managing, keeping safe and extracting insights from the ever-increasing amounts of data your company produces needs to be in the hands of a qualified professional who can help you get the most return from that data.
Customer service
In a world of instant gratification, customers expect instant customer service — and can take to the web to share their displeasure at less than satisfactory service just as quickly. Consultants can find ways to improve customer service and bring it into the 21st century.
Maintaining reputation
In a similar vein, because customers can voice any displeasure so much more publicly and loudly than ever before, businesses have to monitor and maintain their online reputations. And while it’s an important task, it’s one best suited to a third party who can monitor and mediate with a certain amount of distance.
Knowing when to embrace change
Early adapter or late to the game? Consultants can help CEOs determine when to embrace change and when to stay the course. Not everything new is good, yet eschewing every change runs the risk of becoming obsolete. A professional outside opinion can make all the difference in these decisions.
We are living in an era of constant change for the foreseeable future: change is the new normal. Preparing for and embracing that change by investing in the right kind of advice is the best way to meet these challenges head on.
I wouldn't want to work with uncoorporative team
Thanks
Problems I do not like to see, are problems that would be a crminal act on its own, for example drug abuse, alcohol abuse, sexual harrasment, theft etc.
With such problems there is for me as captain no solution, it would mean for me only one action, place the offender under arrest and had him/her over to the authorities at the first port I enter.
Any other problem we will simply find a solution for it, no matter how big or how small the problem is, my crew can count on me.
Problems are always going to arise in any company, as things develop that maybe be out of our control, such as an act of God, or staff members doing things that are not in line with our company policies. For example, Starbucks coffee chain is closing 8,000 locations for sensitivity training to their staff members due to a racial occurrence in one of their stores. It comes down to how we react and handle the situations. There is always a lesson in all problems.
Problems are the essence to the existence of managerial skills . I welcome all problems so that you can find solutions and prove your ability as a manager.
As a leader, I don't want to face any problems. However, I am always prepared for any types of problems. A manager or a leader is supposed to be prepared to face all kind of problems. The list of problems a manager or a leader can face is large and includes HR, Financial, strategic, managerial, legal and environmental issues. Each of these issues can be overwhelming and can put a great amount of stress on the manager.
Personally, I believe that managerial and leadership problems are the ones I would make sure I won't fall into. I believe that leadership and management skills can help tackle any kind of problem. A good manager and leader will know how to maintain a high level of motivation within his teams. He should be able to rightly manage his finance in order to always be able to meet his duties. A good manager and leader has a vision and clear objectives that draw the best path to success and to which his teams a happy to participate in. A good manager and leader anticipates legal and environmental problems before they can occur. He should be able to monitor his track and adjust accordingly before he falls into problems that can ruin his entrepreneurship.
To sum it up, a good leader should always hope for the best, but always be prepared for the worst.
