In January we are running a special monthly feature on management and leadership development, and we want your views. What are the big challenges in management, and how do you meet them?

Below are some sample questions which we'd like to send you to get your answers, but if you'd prefer just to express an opinion, just share your view on the state of managment in the UK today and what can be done to improve it. If you want to take part in any way, email the editor now.
