Episode 47: The Value of Patience in Strategy
from The Strategize, Adapt, and Overcome Podcast by Brad Young · host PodCentral Publishing Inc
Have you ever rushed a decision out of anxiety? Sent an angry email without thinking it through? Jumped at a mediocre opportunity because you were afraid a better one would not come along? This is the work of the impatient mind. It is a mind ruled by fear—the fear of missing out, the fear of being left behind, the fear of uncertainty.An impatient general is a defeated general. He attacks before his forces are ready. He exhausts his troops in pointless marches. He falls for obvious traps because he is too eager for a quick victory. His actions are not guided by strategy, but by a desperate need to do something.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-strategize-adapt-and-overcome-podcast-by-brad-young--7094741/support.
