In a world obsessed with quick fixes and instant gratification, patience in leadership is underrated.  

I share with NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang this rather unpopular and counterintuitive view: 

"Greatness does not come from intelligence. Greatness comes from character, and character isn’t formed out of smart people: it's formed out of people who have suffered."

— Jensen Huang

While panic is never productive, a sense of urgency sometimes must cascade through the hierarchy.
