A good concept and a smart strategy require the willingness to deal with a topic in the longer term. Exactly here, many concepts fail when fast-paced solutions are presented. Something slowness would sometimes be appropriate.
“Make a concept… a presentation… an evaluation… a few thoughts about it…”, such orders from managers, colleagues or customers flutter through the company landscapes in many places.

- Stumbling block No. 6: “I am not creative.”
- Stumbling block No. 7: “I cannot convince.”
- Stumbling block No. 8: “It has to be perfect.”

Colleagues, who would like to think even longer and collect more information in order to find the best possible solution, are then quickly referred to as a snail or a slowdown.
Proud of the supposed efficiency?
Yes, sometimes even suggestions are made or advice given before the interlocutor could formulate his first sentence.
Typical quick shots just, mostly ill-considered. And many quick-cutters are then also proud of their supposed efficiency and despise the skeptics.
Premature Lospreschen causes more work
What many do not consider (and now comes the but!): This is neither a professional way of working nor a valued handling of the conversation partner. And, ultimately, the hasty break-out causes even more work.
How can that be? Quite simple: In the course of the elaboration, the objectives, framework conditions and other requirements that are not sufficiently clarified are like a boomerang and lead to unnecessary loops.
