We want to hire motivated leaders at Intel Corporation. What do you find to be the most difficult aspect of leading your current team?

"One challenge I face as a leader is avoiding frustration when employees show continued disinterest in our company's education opportunities. My current company has an amazing program for continued education, yet only about 32% of our employees take advantage. To alleviate this frustration, I started a company-wide recognition program for all employees who explore this option with our company. Our rates have gone up to 57% since I implemented the change last year."

"The most difficult part of leading my current team is maintaining a positive mentality throughout the group. We have a couple of individuals who try to drag down the team's morale. It's always hard to combat that, but I do my best by reinforcing positive behaviors.

I also try to make space for negative feedback when necessary. I started holding regular reflection meetings where everyone has an opportunity to vent. I have noticed less unhealthy team discussion since we started holding those meetings."

Remember to demonstrate the effect of the steps you have taken to deal with the difficult aspect of leadership you describe. For example, if you implemented a new program, describe the results.
