Small Shot, Big Lesson: What the Dink Teaches Us About Patience

The dink shot in pickleball may look simple, but it’s one of the most strategic shots in the game. It’s about control, patience, and pressure. You don’t win the point with power—you win with precision and consistency.

In leadership, we often think the big moves define us. But it’s the small, patient actions—checking in with your team, handling feedback well, adjusting course quietly—that build trust and momentum.

Just like the dink, leadership is a game of intention. Don’t rush the rally. Play the long game.
