Original Advice
“Speed without empathy feels selfish: People don’t read your intentions; they feel your impact. If you sprint ahead, skip context, and claim wins solo, it lands as me-first behavior. Own the gap between urgency and consideration.”
Speed Isn't Leadership, It's Noise
Your speed reads as disregard. People don’t hear intention; they absorb collateral. When you blaze through meetings, skip context, and plant your flag alone, the room files you under me-first. They remember the bruise, not your burn rate. Urgency is not a virtue when it flattens faces. Lead time isn’t wasted time; it’s the difference between momentum and mess.
Speed without orientation spikes cortisol and silence. Brains treat unknown pace as threat. Teams need headlights, not just horsepower. Context lets people align, protect calendars, and bring better ideas. Empathy is not softness; it’s a speed multiplier. When everyone can see the lane, they accelerate with you. Trade solo sprinting for cadence: brief, assign, confirm, then go. That sequence is leadership, not apology.
