Drive Fast Slowly

In doing research for my next book, I've been studying the world of professional motorsport racing.

Michael Schumacher is perhaps the greatest race car driver in history. He won 7 Formula One Grand Prix World Championships. But at his very first race he started too fast and his car stopped. His first race lasted about two seconds. He had to learn to drive fast slowly.

In other words, he had to slow down his efforts in order to get the car to reach and sustain incredibly fast speeds.

If you want to achieve incredible results faster and in a sustainable way, then slow down your mind, pause, reflect, make solid decisions, communicate those decisions clearly, and move forward into action. By making your efforts more effortless, you will move your career and your organization ahead faster.
