Remember these 20 quotes on why a sense of urgency is important in business

If you have a great sense of urgency, working with people without one can be frustrating.

While all you can think about is making progress in the things that you do, it is discouraging to have teammates or business partners with an “It is okay, the time will come” attitude.

People often misunderstand the sense of urgency with the sense of emergency. In the case of emergency, some people will run around like a chicken with its head cut off.

This kind of attitude will lead you nowhere and it is just being unproductive.

On the other hand, to have a sense of urgency is to know the value of time and planning while focusing your eyes in the prize.

It is not about doing the same thing everyday without care if you are making any progress and at the same time hoping success just going to fall into your lap.
