When I use any navigation app these days I get a lot of information about which route to take. Tolls vs no tolls, highway vs backroads, short vs long, all these options are given to us at once. Ultimately I make a choice based on how long the trip is going to take me. Will it be smooth or will I be sitting in traffic?
Speed is important, because taking forever to get anywhere is rarely of value. But our pace should not be so quick that we lose our footing, or miss a turn. Smooth progress trumps those missteps every time. I think that as long as I am moving and headed in the right direction, I am doing the right thing. At the end of the day, most of the decisions we navigate come down to just that, movement and direction, not pace. Patience is a leadership trait worth honing, even when it feels uncomfortable.
