Entrepreneurs: the Magic of Urgency
by Miki SaxonSteve Jobs is an icon and a beacon to entrepreneurs around the globe, although not as a management role model.
Many have weighed in on what made Jobs so great, but in a recent talk Malcolm Gladwell focused on a trait that anyone, in any field and any position can cultivate and become great at.
It’s not a trait that’s inborn nor does it require any special abilities.
It’s what Jobs had in abundance; it’s what drove him.
It’s what you can have, too.
What is this magical trait?
“Urgency,” Gladwell declared, characterizes Jobs and other immortal entrepreneurs. (…) “The difference isn’t resources,” Gladwell said. “It’s attitude.”
Cultivate urgency.
Own it.
