Jeff Higgins Speaking

We spend a lot of time waiting.

Waiting until we're more confident.
Waiting until the plan is perfect.
Waiting until we know exactly what to do.

Meanwhile, growth is happening to the people willing to start before they feel ready.

I've never climbed a mountain where every step was certain.

The next step is enough.

Some organizations live in a constant state of urgency.

Every email is urgent.
Every meeting is urgent.
Every problem is urgent.

Eventually, people stop responding with focus and start responding with fatigue.

Great teams know the difference between pressure and panic.

Leaders set the pace.

If everything is an emergency, nothing is.
