This book examines the importance of creating a sense of urgency in your employees. Something is urgent when it is critically important and is central to the success or failure of the organization. Identify critical issues and form strong teams. Teams with a sense of urgency feel the need to communicate relentlessly with other team members. Employees who feel the urgency will feel empowered to remove obstacles and find solutions. Some employees are urgency killers, and are more than just skeptics. Don’t waste time trying to win them over, but don’t ignore them. Instead, use peer pressure to immobilize them.
