Think Long Term (Principle)
One of the problems that we face in business is impatience. We want quick results when we start a new initiative. We want new processes to pay off immediately.

In large part, this is a function of the pressures of the stock market. Quarterly earnings reports force leaders to think in three month chunks of time.
