    [Urgency: The Double-Edged Sword] I've seen urgency cut both ways. It's the rush to act before things get worse, but also the push that turns good intentions into collateral damage. Remember when we rushed to organize without a plan?

    People got hurt. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Urgency isn't bad in itself.

    But it needs checks. You can't move faster than your people will follow or support. Last time, we thought the end justified any means. It didn't.

    We need to say what the cost is out loud before we start moving fast. So here's my question: How do we balance urgency with responsibility? Can we act quickly while still being mindful of who might fall along the way?

    Or are these two things fundamentally at odds? Let's talk about this. What's your take on urgency and its risks?
