Summary
Most organisations have a process for managing urgent work. Far fewer have a process for questioning urgency itself. --------- In this episode, we examine a simple organisational pattern: "Urgency Inheritance." The tendency for urgency to survive longer than the evidence that created it. --------- We'll explore why humans mistake speed for certainty, how tempo spreads between teams, and one question that can improve decision quality almost immediately: "Who decided the tempo?" Sometimes the fastest thing in the organisation is not information. It's an assumption. --------- Stay Tuned… Regards, Top Voice Maido & Kon'nichiwa min'na! 👶🏻🧑🏻🦱👩🏻🦳 Wie Geht's guys?
