Discus challenges faced by modern managers of organisations and their solutions?
Lack of capital
Lack of capital is often the most critical challenge that a successful manager or leader faces as its very success creates this and it quickly becomes a vicious circle. Without very diligent cash flow management and/or raising of more capital, including debt, the business often is constrained by capital as it grows. Often the profit in one operating cycle is insufficient to fund the extra working capital required for the next operating cycle. Many capable managers cannot overcome the obstacles in their businesses cash flow cycle and cannot understand why bankers and other lenders often cannot provide the financing as the manager often does not have the security to support the debt.
The solution is often easier than most entrepreneurs realize. It often starts with a plan to see what your cash needs are and when your cash needs arise. Then one is in a position to manage it and focus on the cash management techniques most likely to be successful in his/her business.
Lack of management skills
Lack of management skills is a problem that is very difficult to deal with in most small and medium enterprises as the size of the senior management team is necessarily limited. These areas of weakness could be in finance, human resources, marketing or any area where the current management does not have the expertise, or the time to deal with the issues.
It can be solved by determining the weak areas and then developing a plan for dealing with those challenges. Solutions can be as simple as assigning the responsibility to an existing manager with a requirement to watch for the obvious pitfalls, to hiring a person part-time or a consultant.
Lack of focus
Ignoring risks in their assessment of alternatives and opportunities
Lack of a plan
Failure to plan for issues absorbing the majority of your time

What is general electric mission statement?
Values - Imagine, solve, build and lead - four bold verbs that express what it is to be part of GE. Their action-oriented nature says something about who we are - and should serve to energize ourselves and our teams around leading change and driving performance.
For more than 125 years, GE has been admired for its performance and imaginative spirit. The businesses that we invent and build fuel the global economy and improve people's lives.
Today, we are 11 technology, services and financial businesses with more than 300,000 employees in 160 countries around the world.
What unifies us? Our Actions and Values.
What we do and how we work is distinctly GE. It's a way of thinking and working that has grounded our performance for decades. It's a way of talking about our work and ourselves that takes the best from our past and expresses it in the spirit and language of GE today.
It's about who we are, what we believe, where we're headed, how we'll get there. It's how we imagine, solve, build and lead.
Imagine.
From the very beginnings of our company, when Thomas Edison was changing the world with the power of ideas, GE has always stood for one capability above all others - the ability to imagine.
Imagine is a sense of possibility that allows for a freedom beyond mere invention. Imagine dares to be something greater.
At GE, Imagine is an invitation to dream and do things that you didn't know you could do.
Because at GE the act of imagining is fused with empowerment - the confidence that what we imagine, we can make happen.
Solve.
Every business has to have a reason to exist - a reason that answers the fundamental question of "why are we here?"
For GE, the big question has a simple answer: We exist to solve problems - for our customers, our communities and societies, and for ourselves.
Build.
From 0 to 60 in six seconds? Try zero to $5 billion in five years.
It's not so much a vision for our future - where we're headed is in many ways a reflection of where we've already been. It's not a destination. It's a quest. A quest for growth. And when we look to the future, we know that for us, there's only one way to get there. Build.
Lead.
Imagine. Solve. Build. Each of these is merely a word without one vital element. Lead.
GE is already synonymous with leadership. But with this mantle comes responsibility. And it's not just a responsibility to maintain the status quo or manage what worked yesterday. It's the bigger responsibility to change.
Because change is the essence of what it means to lead.
It's a call to action that engages our unceasing curiosity, our passion, and our drive to be first in everything that we do.
We Are a Company to Believe In.
Imagine.
Build.
Solve.
Lead.
