The Impatient Leader Trap

Pushing your team too fast because you're impatient. You want everything simple. You trick yourself that it IS simple in your brain. You push for speed. "Why is this taking so long? Just do it faster!" But things are ALWAYS more complex than they seem on the surface. The infrastructure is brittle. The data is messy. The requirements keep changing. And if you push an individual, team, or organization too fast, you don't just slow them down—you dissolve the effort altogether. Burnout. Attrition. Quality crashes. The initiative dies.
