• Lack of Capitol: Foreign and domestic investors invest in the dreams of leaders executed by managers in the leadership of competent CEO’s. However, managers and companies fall short of raising the capital in form of equity or FDI due to the roofing of incompetent leadership.
• Failure in Corporate Restructuring: It is impossible for managers to manage innovation, employee engagement, talent, performance, competition and growth without the direction of a leader.
• Loss of Potential Leaders: Corporations and managers are losing deserving leaders who can fill in the CEO roles due to gender discrimination, poverty and improper or no succession planning.
