Reading notes.

The Nowist: Strives to remove waiting from the system. Doesn’t wait for communication, questions the need for meetings. Regards deadlines as not the goal but the failure line. There is always a way to make progress without blockers stopping movement. Seeks expertise rather than approval, broadcasting intentions instead of waiting for confirmation. Senses the way a decision will go and gets a head start on following it, risking a bit of wasted work if the guess was wrong. Needs immediate goals to work toward.

Risks creating untenable goals/expectations if this is a leader. Need to pay extra attention to the needs and constraints of people who are introducing slowness.
