In Wally’s latest weekly digest of independent business blogs, he links to our post on how our employee engagement research shows that a CEO who serves a long time in a company combined with a turtle’s approach to managing growth can lead to powerful long-term business results.  Here’s his comment on my post from Monday:

Growth is an American business mantra.  But sometimes limiting growth is best.  Quick results are what we demand of CEOs.  But sometimes slow and steady is better.

Yes, sometimes the best approach is a slow and steady one – something to keep top of mind in this economy that demands, as the mainstream business press meme goes, lightning speed in all tasks.

I want to thank Wally for our inclusion in his weekly recommended blogs list, as well as for also urging his Twitter followers to follow us there.  Thank you, sir!
