As talent development professionals, we continuously search for new ways to develop talent, particularly the capacity and capability to lead and inspire others. The self-discipline to pause—which is simple to articulate yet difficult to develop—before responding and reacting to a person or situation is one of today’s most important leadership competencies.

Void of this discipline, leaders run the risk of causing irreparable damage to their organizations’ overall performance.
