What's the biggest challenge that you face in your role and how do you overcome it?

My role entails supporting various business areas with risk management and assurance activities. Therefore, at any point I am spinning many different plates and the challenge is keeping all these plates spinning and ensuring none get dropped. To achieve this I apply ruthless prioritisation and try and keep everything moving forward. I take an activity to a point where I am awaiting information, a response, etc to progress, then immediately switch to moving the next item forward. This way any risk of procrastination is avoided and things are always getting progressed, and it keeps me busy and enthused. I feel empowered in my role to work with autonomy, but if required I have a very supportive boss who I can readily turn to, and run my proposed approach/thinking past.
