False urgency can be lethal in organizations, and it become more toxic the higher it starts. Gravity exaggerates false urgency. How You Are Unknowingly Creating False Urgency Even if you are an empowering, enlightened leader, if you are the “boss” and you say “jump” (through your words or unintentional reactions), your team will likely start [.

In fast paced, high stress business environments it can be all too easy sometimes for leaders to slip into what I call “ Boss Man ” mode. What I mean by that is that they stop being a leader, and start acting like a boss. A boss who supervises a staff. The staff reports to the boss, just like it says on the organizational chart. And they do exactly what the boss says, because, of course, “ He’s the boss!

Changing the behaviors of people in an organization is tricky. You can communicate what is expected. You can train people how to do the behavior. You can provide tools to make it easier. You can add incentives to help motivate people to do something new. And still, they will probably continue to do things the old way. Because perhaps the strongest factor in how people choose which behaviors to do is not in that list.

Recently I watched a documentary film called “ Jiro Dreams of Sushi “ – it was about 85 year-old Jiri Ono , who is considered to be one of the top sushi chefs in the world, attracting a 3 star rating from Michelen in his little 10-seat restaurant tucked inside a subway station in Tokyo. It was thrilling to watch this man at work, preparing delectable morsels (that look like mini works of art) with 70 years of acquired skill and experience – and a lot of pride.

Over the weekend I had a great reminder of how much things change over time. I received an email from a coach I worked with back in 2004. She had been cleaning out some files and found a document that she asked me to write for her when we were working together. It was a list of twenty nine things that were draining my energy back then. I was in a bit of a funk in that period and the list included worries about family, health, friends, business – the works really.

When I was in school I hated deadlines. Absolutely hated them. To make matters worse I was a classic procrastinator, especially when I was in college. It wasn’t unusual for me to finally crack the book open a couple of days before the exam, or pull out the typewriter just a day before a term paper was due. What was interesting about this “hatred” was that it actually worked for me – that is, what I didn’t realize was that that the deadline put me (albeit pretty l
