Ep.1153 - When You Get Behind
In this podcast we cover:
- An answer to a listener about meetings.
- What humans do when they get behind.
- What we can do to stay stable and get ahead.
In this episode I share what typically happens when we feel like we are getting behind and why our natural instincts often cause more harm than good. I explain how rushing, panicking, and adding pressure can create chaos, while slowing down, planning carefully, and focusing on safety, quality, and alignment actually brings projects back on track. I also highlight the importance of strong meeting facilitation, the progress we are making on the new Takt Steering and Control book, and how these lessons apply not only to construction but also to personal life. This episode is a reminder that leadership under pressure means slowing down to go faster in the long run.
