675. The Hidden Tax of Speed — Why Fast Decisions Aren’t Free
Episode 675
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
We live in a culture that celebrates speed. Fast growth. Fast decisions. Fast pivots. Fast scaling. But as Brian Smith, PhD explains in this episode of Daily Influence, speed and readiness are not the same thing. Drawing from the longest and most in-depth chapter in The I in Team Series™ — “Slow Down” — Brian explores the hidden tax organizations quietly pay months or even years after moving too fast. In this episode: The difference between speed and structural readiness How shortcuts compound into operational and cultural debt Why urgency-driven cultures slowly exhaust trust Fast decisions are rarely free. The bill just comes later. If leadership is about protecting the future — not impressing the present — this episode is essential listening. #DailyInfluence #ResponsibleInfluence #SMARTManagement #LeadershipDevelopment #IntentionalLeadership
