A strong desire for closure can lead to rushed or incomplete work, creating stress and additional tasks. For instance, sending partially thought-out emails to clear your inbox might result in miscommunications and extra follow-up work. Reflecting and allowing solutions to develop fully helps avoid creating more work and ensures better outcomes.
The rush for closure and its potential downsides
Remember, closure isn't always the ultimate goal. Allow some tasks to wait or drop off your radar. For example, skipping non-essential meetings or not rushing to answer every email can be beneficial. One leader found that skipping 30% of meetings didn’t hinder progress and allowed for more focused work.
The value of letting ideas mature over time
Delay and Sway
Don’t rush to solve problems just to check them off your list. Embrace different viewpoints and let solutions develop fully. Instead of settling for a quick fix in a meeting or email, take time to consider various perspectives. This approach ensures you address the real issue rather than just the apparent one.
The importance of patience and thoroughness in problem-solving
Wait and Relate
A high need for closure can push you to force solutions prematurely, often resulting in incomplete work. Focus on thoughtful problem-solving and reflect on the bigger picture. Adjust your approach as needed to avoid adding stress and repetitive tasks later on.
