Urgency
Doing lots of things, multi-tasking and running yourself and the people around you hard is exhausting. But after all the sweat and agitation at the end of every day -- you can't necessarily say that you've created the constructive urgency that moves groups to bigger and better things. You need to re-assess, to create urgency that works for you, for the individuals you lead, and for the organizations you aim to take into the future.

Growing Your Business in a Difficult Economy
Admiral James Stockdale was the highest ranking American POW during the Vietnam War. He was held for more than 8 years and after his release wrote a book Love and War that described how he was able to not just survive the ordeal but actually thrive when many others didn’t. The story of his absolute confidence that he would survive coupled with his ability to confront the brutal facts of his current reality came to be known as the “Stockdale Paradox”. Many years later Jim Collins wrote his business masterpiece Good to Great and demonstrated how many companies used the “Stockdale Paradox” to survive and thrive in tough times while many of their competitors fell by the wayside or disappeared completely.

The wrong people certainly influence performance and this quantification of talent is the primary measure of success and failure.
