How engineering leaders can promote urgency in teams

Urgency is often a skill that people really value. But what does it actually mean in practice?

The term “urgency” is vague and can be defined in many different ways. Hiring managers regard it as an intangible quality – candidates either have it or they don’t. Technology leaders reference it when work is not happening as fast as they would like. The dictionary defines it as something so important it must be acted on immediately. These definitions are too disparate to be actionable, and yet we know urgency is critical to running a successful business.

Treating urgency like a mythical element in hiring or promoting is not effective for your business.
