The development of effective management skills in employees is the real challenge faced by DSPS. The other challenges include job satisfaction, mentoring, and coaching as well as guiding them about the change. It also includes challenges related to how to tackle issues and how to deal with the employee's reaction to change. DSPS can manage these challenges through the SMART methodology. This will provide the map to leaders for time management as well as regain focus on their top priorities. The factors of SMART methodology are ‘specific’ for the accomplishment of goals. ‘Measurable’ required to set the target through which progress can be assessed. It is also required to check either the goals are ‘attainable’ or not. Be ‘realistic’ in terms of talent, resources, and time for acquiring goals. In the end, it is required to develop a 'timeline' for the accomplishment of goals. For overcoming the leadership challenges, DSPs are required to understand their primary and secondary responsibilities. While working as a leader, it is required to prioritize work as well as distribute tasks as per the employees’ ability. It is also required to align the individual and company goals; this will give individuals personal growth opportunities.
