This is a phrase that I really have come to hate.

Do you work with a sense of urgency? Is it a job requirement? Is it part of you job description?

At the Great Wal of China Mart,it is in each job description. EACH.

" Must work with a Sense of Urgency ".

Just what does " A sense of urgency " mean?

Well , below is one definition that I found..

Create A Sense Of Urgency!
by Gary Ryan Blair

An atmosphere of urgency will create an atmosphere of achievement.

Have you noticed that the people who make things happen in this world value and share the same sense of urgency?

High Achievers work best under a self-determined or externally fixed deadline for achieving objectives. Those who consciously choose not to "sleep at the wheel" realize that regardless of the goal being pursued, they must continually maintain a sense of urgency in order to compete and win.

True greatness is only achieved once we develop a sense of urgency and importance of what we are doing. I mean a sense of urgency to the extent that we feel getting results and achieving our goals is a matter of life and death.

It's tragically un-hip to procrastinate. A deadline and strong sense of urgency generates energy toward getting results. In short, they drive people to perform. Purposely put yourself in a position where you have to perform!

One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to achieve a goal is to plunge ahead without establishing a high enough sense of urgency in themselves and others. Communicating urgency is one of the hallmarks of personal and professional leadership.

Now, I can understand a doctor have a sense of emergency if at the hospital, a person is brought in from a bad accident or some type of violence and is nearing death..

or a firemen arriving at the scene of a fire and he wants to find out if anyone is still inside the building..

or a Policemen rushing to a " Crime in Progress"..

But stocking shelves or waiting on customers in a department store..?

Hello !!

Is this really a matter of life or death?

Ok..a Doctor, Firemen, and Policemen, made decent to good money, and lives may depend on them.

A retail clerk, makes minimum wage .No one ever died because they could not find the right bolt, or makeup, or whatever.

When was the last time anyone ever heard of a retail clerk saving a life by selling a hammer or toilet paper.

Does anyone but me see the difference or the stupidity of this ?
