Leaders may encounter several challenges in active participation: 1. Time Management: Balancing active participation with other responsibilities can be challenging. Effective time management and delegation are crucial. 2. Maintaining Boundaries: Active participation should not lead to micromanagement. Leaders must find a balance between involvement and empowering their team. 3. Overcoming Resistance: Some team members may resist increased leader involvement. Building trust and demonstrating the benefits of active participation can help overcome this resistance.
