I would MUCH rather go slow and do it correctly the first few times and going forward, than do a half-______ job and have to re-learn it, taking even longer....!!!!!
I just remembered something while reading, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." Literally, it turns out to be an excellent key to understanding Napoleon's riddle: "Dress me slowly, I'm in a hurry." Paradoxical but absolutely intrinsic to such an excellent teaching!
I love this. And the coincidence of it. I had mentioned a few weeks back how I kept feeling the weight of the words “faith” and “foundation”, on my mind. Yesterday, I was doing some self reflecting. My management, which I had worked for, and had a close relationship in the past, kept bringing me into meetings, discussing the need for direction in different departments. Efficiency was my suggestion.
Efficient in every aspect. Beginning with the warehouse, and all the way up to management. If you’re efficient, everything else will fall into place. The Marine Corps stressed efficient and purposeful action, and with intent. It was drilled into me. I love teaching others to be purposeful, and efficient. When it clicks, it’s a beautiful thing. Success rate and satisfaction simultaneously improve. And when you’re engaged in the process, it becomes addicting. You want to help other flourish, thrive, and find success.
I’ll try to say hello at church in the morning. You’re usually engaged with others and I don’t want to interrupt 😂
Love this article! Having been in a ReLeader position in the past and even trying to lead from the second chair in other scenarios, it’s extremely easy and almost natural to want results and wins NOW! But, the idea of “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” is spot on and something that hasn’t ever really crossed my mind. Big time light switch moment for me while reading this and have already put it down on paper to be more intentional in applying this approach to a lot of areas of my life. Thanks for sharing!
I like that!!!

Oh wow. You're right. I've never noticed that before.
