Urgency is Poisonous

One thing I’ve come to realize is that urgency is overrated. In fact, I’ve come to believe urgency is poisonous. Urgency may get things done a few days sooner, but what does it cost in morale? Few things burn morale like urgency. Urgency is acidic.

I really enjoyed this post and the resulting discussion. Lots of good lines, but I'll go with:

“Keeping people around longer is far more important than keeping them there on friday.”
