Why are we sprinting? To win. The business world is Darwinian. Sit back and relax, and someone else who is more motivated will eat your lunch. Why do we want to win? To make money so we can have what we want. If you don't feel like you're getting somewhere, maybe you're applying force to the ground in the wrong way.

How many companies do you think go under my sprinting to slow vs in the wrong direction?

I would love to hear an example where in business it came down to motivation of the companies workforce.

I suggest this video about the question of success: Luck or hard(-re in this case) work? https://youtu.be/3LopI4YeC4I

Then look at apex predators. They spend most of their time resting. Their efforts in hunting are extremely focused. Lions are not 'griding' yet they dominate the savannah.

Slow and steady wins the race, and the majority of startups fail.

I agree that a balance needs to be struck and something needs to be done, but I'd favor a healthy cadence for my team than have them burn out and quit, leaving me holding the bag.

What you say is true in many parts of the business world. But not all of them.
