A number of years ago,I attended a mastermind assembly that had a consistent theme running through it.
The most successful people have a sense of urgency.I believe this to be precise because those I view as successful act quickly and decisively. They hustle. They come by things done.
If we occupy it at face value, the phrase sense of urgency seems turbulent. It sounds like we should be moving hastily and acting immediately on ideas without much thought or care for anything else.
It’s Not Really About HurryingAs I read more about a sense of urgency as it relates to business, and I discover that its not necessarily about hurrying.
John Kotter,who wrote the book A Sense of Urgency, says the following.precise urgency focuses on critical issues. It is driven by the deep determination to win, and not anxiety about losing. Many people confuse it with unfounded urgency. This misguided sense of urgency does have energized action,but it has a frantic aspect to it with people driven by anxiety and terror. This dysfunctional orientation prevents people from exploiting opportunities and addressing real issues.
