Slow Down to Lead Better

Urgency without inclusion won’t get you where you want to go.

In leadership, balancing urgency with the need for thoughtful, inclusive dialogue is one of the toughest challenges.

Leaders often feel the pressure to move fast and get things done. But when we slow down, especially in DEI spaces, we create room for voices that might otherwise go unheard. The result? More thoughtful decisions and lasting, meaningful change.

🔑 Action: In your next team meeting, pay attention to the pacing. Are you rushing through discussions? Take a moment to slow down and invite feedback from those who haven’t spoken yet. The best solutions often come when everyone’s voice is considered.
