Warning: Your “Superpower” Might Be Slowing You Down

Being a High Quick Start often makes you feel like an idea factory with zero off-switch.

 

There’s a catch: the same instinct that drives growth can quietly drain it if you don’t have the right structure.

 

Here’s how your greatest gift becomes your greatest risk:

  • You start faster than your team can follow
  • You pivot before the first plan is finished
  • You say “yes” before asking “what does this cost me?

It’s not about changing who you are. It’s about building the right system around how you work.

Three steps to start:

  1. Use “Pause Power”:  Before launching anything new, pause and ask: is the last big idea fully integrated?
  2. Time Your Genius: Designate dedicated times for ideation and separate times for execution review. Don’t blur the two.
  3. Bring in the Balancer: High Quick Start leaders thrive when paired with high Follow Through partners. You lead. They land the plane.

Let’s stop spinning and start scaling.

Curious what your version of calm momentum could look like? Let’s Talk.
