Your Energy Is Contagious… But What Are You Spreading?

As a visionary, your energy sets the tempo.

Your pace becomes the pace. Your stress becomes the climate. Your focus (or lack thereof) echoes through your entire team.

So here’s the question: Are you spreading strategic, purposeful clarity… or urgency-fueled chaos?

Most High Quick Starts don’t even realize when they’ve slipped into scramble mode. But here are a few signs:

• You’re bouncing between ideas in meetings, and no one knows what to act on
• Your team starts bracing for last-minute pivots, not planning for progress
• You’re answering questions that systems (or your team) should be handling

This is not a leadership problem. It’s an energy management problem.

Here’s how to shift your rhythm:

1. Audit Your Influence
   Ask your team how they experience your energy. Are they getting clarity or whiplash? Curiosity here beats defensiveness.
2. Move from Noise to Narrative
   Capture your ideas in a central spot (Asana, a shared doc, or a quick Loom). Let them breathe before broadcasting. Filter for alignment before announcing.
3. Delegate the Firefighting
   When everything feels urgent, nothing gets done well. Build a system where others triage tasks and reserve your energy for big-picture decisions.
4. Design Your Tempo
   Block “quiet hours” for thinking. Schedule weekly check-ins that reinforce clarity. Use your calendar as a tool to project calm, not chaos.
   

The ripple effect is real:
When your rhythm is strategic, your whole team performs better.
