Urgency

As a founder, if you are settled and not seeking urgency: whether in closing sales or shipping: your team will mirror you.
They will gradually become complacent, and deliverables will start taking months instead of weeks.

We humans are creatures of habit.
It takes very little time to adopt others’ behaviour when you are part of a team.

It becomes of utmost importance for a leader to ensure the team understands the importance of urgency.
