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:
- Audit Your Influence
Ask your team how they experience your energy. Are they getting clarity or whiplash? Curiosity here beats defensiveness.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
