Jumping in and fixing problems quickly feels good. It boosts our egos, because we have demonstrated how efficient we are and that we have effective problem solving skills.

BUT what if we’ve acted too hastily? What if our solution failed to work? What if there was a better way?

Sometimes slowing down, taking a step back to analyse and think is the best way, even though our world usually demands instant results.

Knowing when to act quickly and when to slow down therefore is paramount to your success, so if there isn’t a fire, is it time to choose how to respond rather than react in haste?
