Speed over direction is how most people try to achieve.
Run faster. Work harder.
But it is better to first make sure you are always going in the right direction.
Someone going in the right direction will make more progress than someone going twice as fast in the wrong direction, or one that is 45 degrees off.
This presumes you know where you want to go. If you don’t know, then any direction will get you there.
Is your organization going in the right direction?
Is your leadership of that organization going in the right direction?
Patient and progressive. There is a great interview by Mark Daigneault the head coach of the Oklahoma Thunder, where the subject is growth. He relates it to “focusing on your broccoli” and he lays out how growth is slow, it arduous and it happens over time. You need to lay the foundation first before you can build on it.

Amen.
That’s true. However someone moving twice as fast could zig-zag up to 30 degrees off the most direct path and still get there faster (and probably have more fun). I always say (when I get the chance at least) “slow and steady wins the race that fast and steady doesn’t enter”.
