Strategic Leadership

It seems that we constantly go faster and faster toward the future. Getting their faster is only making us anxious.

What if as leaders, we realize we cannot create the future we want by increasing the speed of change, by increasing the rush and the chaos? At some point it's up to us to say, "We must take time to think. We must take time to reflect." I think this is one of the most courageous acts a servant leader can do right now, is to attempt to slow things down, so that people can think about what they’re doing.
