this year i got much better at creating urgency even if there is no reason to be urgent

if deadline is on day X the project has to be deliverd on day X or scrapped — it probably wasn’t important enough if the deadline wasn’t met

lack of urgency kills the progress, create more deadlines

In the military for promotion boards a common question is "what is the definition of leadership"

*Leadership is the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.

Motivating the team to accomplish tasks is what leaders do.
