"Slow Is Smooth And Smooth Is Fast"

The U.S. Navy SEALS follow the maxim Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast, a product of their sixty years of experience in crisis situations, which means that acting fast does not necessarily lead to an effective solution.

It is crucial to be methodical, patient and to focus on reducing the time it takes to deliver value, instead of confusing operational speed with strategic speed. This involves going back to the drawing board and using the added experience to redesign the process of delivering value.
