I have say that “Do you have people ready for that challenge?” seems to be the largest hurdle for me. Then again, if these people were a dime a dozen, they wouldn’t be so valuable.

From the perspective of a subordinate (and we all are one irrespective of the level in the organization, even CEO being the subordinate of the shareholders), it is also critical to ask if I am taking those big stretches that land in front of me. Do I see new assignments as additional workload that I should try and get out of, or am I seeing these as big stretches? Do I take the initiative to seek out the big stretches?
