Hey friends, welcome back to the podcast. I've got a story for you that I think is going to hit home, especially with Thanksgiving just around the corner.

So last week, I'm sitting in this community board meeting. Now, this is an open board meeting, which means any member can attend and add items to the agenda for discussion. And let me tell you, things got... interesting.

I'm watching these two grown adults argue about whether a fence should be six feet or six-and-a-half feet tall. And I'm not talking about a polite disagreement. I'm talking Supreme Court level intensity here. The accusations started flying. Someone actually shouted, "This is illegal!"

Illegal. A volunteer board. People serving their neighbors. Apparently running a criminal enterprise over twelve inches of chain link.

And I'm sitting there thinking, "This is exactly what my Thanksgiving table is going to look like in two weeks."

The fence debate? That's fictional. But the tension, the accusations, the shift in perspective when one person spoke up in this story? That all actually happened.

Are you struggling to build a truly unified, high-performing team? Chances are, one hidden culprit is sabotaging your efforts: pace!

That's the central insight from a powerful article by Duane Donner, founder of Heritage Forum and my good friend. Duane examines how the relentless hustle of modern life undermines our ability to lead with empathy, patience, and wisdom.

He writes: "Hurry and love are like oil and water - they simply don't mix." When we're stuck in a frantic state, we cannot be the grounded, emotionally intelligent leaders our teams need. Our worst moments stem from that hurried mindset - running late, snapping at colleagues, prioritizing tasks over people.
