Information, innovation, and the implementation of new ideas need to flow fast and freely through your organization to stay ahead of your competition. Leadership in he organisation plays an important role in achieving these either being enabler or by identifying inhibitor affecting the process. Basically, inhibitors prevent someone from doing something by making them feel nervous or embarrassed In another way, an inhibitor is defined as “one who inhibits, slows down, prevents, reduces or blocks the activity.” Being an inhibitor is actually a much more natural human reaction that feeds our EGO. It’s also considered as one of the most destructive behaviors to which we can subject our organizations and those we lead. Some important Inhibitors to Business Growth are summarised as
· Absence of clear definition of Mission and Vision
· Poor Strategy to Achieve the Vision
· Inability to stay ahead withCurrent with Changing Trends and Technology
· Lack of clear Goals
· Unable to understand their customer.
· Not Taking Care of Their Employees
· Absence of standard Performance Management Process
We all need help in order to learn. For a variety of reasons, usually rooted in personal insecurity, many leaders refuse help. Use a coach and commit to your development.
The most important leaders inhibitors are: bad psychological heart, lack of courage, strong vanity, unclear vision, score conscience, lack of followers.

In a broader leadership role, expertise in every function is not possible or needed. What is needed is the highly competent execution of the leadership process, such as selecting the team and organizing and defining goals, priorities, decisions, resources, accountability, and options. Leaders must keep the wider view in balance.
Thank you for the interesting question. I would like to give a very short answer: Too big ego. I come to this brief conclusion based on my favourite definition of leadership: Leadership is a multi-level (person, dyad, group, collective) leader-follower interaction process that occurs in a particular situation (context) where a leader (e.g., superior, supervisor) and followers (e.g., subordinates, direct reports) share a purpose (vision, mission) and jointly accomplish things (e.g., goals, objectives, tasks) willingly (e.g., without coercion).
