Leadership Word of the Week: Tempo
|
​ Leadership Word of the Week: Tempo Let’s talk tempo. Every team has one. Some are frantic. Some are frozen. Some feel like a jazz quartet — others, like a broken metronome. ​ You’re setting the tempo. It’s not about working faster. It’s about finding the rhythm that energizes without overwhelming — that drives clarity, not chaos. Stop the hum. The droning of mediocrity. Quick check-in:
Tempo tells the truth. Too fast, and trust erodes. Too slow, and momentum dies. Leadership Challenge of the Week:​ ​ Maybe it’s how often you check in. Maybe it’s how quickly you give feedback. Maybe it’s how long decisions sit before being made. Because when you get the tempo right … Work flows. People breathe. And results compound. Here’s to the rhythm of great leadership. – David Adam Groves, MBA Leadership Strategist |
