The Religion of Speed: Why Motion Is Not Progress

I argue that modern organizations have mistaken haste for virtue, treating speed as a moral imperative while ignoring the necessity of clarity. This culture of urgency often masks impatience, leading to systems built on vague assumptions that inevitably fail. True efficiency requires slowing down to understand the work, make clean decisions, and avoid the costly cycle of rework disguised as iteration.
Haste is what happens when people want the emotional relief of action without the burden of clarity.
