Be daring, be driven & be down to earth – Wait

All of us are not good at this. Actually everyone does not even need to be like this. Some of us need to be restless (and perhaps even reckless), while others need to be more settled and matured. Almost like the balance of personalities, which we talked about under the ‘Remix’ subhead. The danger in having a passionate and committed team is that they are an emotional bunch or people. Just the way a nuclear reaction needs moderation with those Cadmium Rods, a passionate team needs patience or at least a good dose of patient people who can help act as the counter balancing force.
Patience is not just as a counter-balancing force for managing passion, it is also as a tactic. Because sometimes clients just need time. You have to grant it to them. The Doors to change open from inside and you can’t just barge in by pushing in, huffing and puffing. If we give time and things do move. So sometimes slowing down can actually speed up things as we end up giving our partners more time and space to do their thing.
However it is anybody’s guess or should we say completely circumstantial as to how long a wait is too long, or how hard a push or shove needs to be. It perhaps needs a good dose of sound judgment to get this.
