The thermostat analogy was a particularly effective illustration. Consistently assessing the operating environment, audience and level of subject matter expertise has worked for me to calibrate ops tempo or battle rhythm. “Slow is fast” comes to mind, taking the time to establish clarity, alignment of objectives and mutual understanding leads to efficiency in execution. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.

It was an analogy that I only recently stumbled upon, but it's so accurate. What I like about it is that it works for formal and informal leaders. The point is to be seen directing the change.
