Top of Mind Thursday March 19, 2015: Go Slow to Go Fast

Top of Mind Thursday

Speed is revered in our culture…we hear about the need to improve speed, agility, acceleration, to be first to market.

Leverage2Market LogoIt may sound counter-intuitive, but sometimes the best way to achieve speed is to start out slowly.

As a musician, I know that the most effective way to learn a difficult, complicated piece is to work through it slowly, tackling the challenging parts as they occur and learning to play with accuracy before pumping up the tempo.

This is in spite of the fact that I’m a pretty darn good sightreader,  and I can play many pieces of music fairly well on the initial read through. But it’s the subtleties and nuances that need to be worked through, and the best way to do that is to start slowly and gradually crank up the tempo.

Are you taking the time to work out your strategies before jumping into implementation? It may be the best way to get off to a fast start.
