The Mako shark is known as the peregrine falcon of the sharks as it’s one of the fastest swimmers. It can reach up to 31 miles per hour with bursts of up to 46 miles per hour. It can jump up to heights of more than 25-30 feet.1 It even resembles a torpedo. This is one fast fish!
Shark experts have found the Mako to be one of the fastest-learning sharks, too. When hunting, they mostly rely on their vision, rather than electroreception (the ability to detect electrical currents). 2

Shark experts have found the Mako to be one of the fastest-learning sharks, too. They have the largest brain-to-body ratio of all sharks, with strong critical reasoning and social skills. When hunting, they mostly rely on their vision, rather than electroreception (the ability to detect electrical currents). 2
Leaders must be fast, too.
It’s important to be agile in decision making. You must be flexible and adaptable as well. Your customers’ needs are changing all the time and it’s necessary to be able to adjust your strategy to deliver greater customer value. Slow and steady may win the race, but when you’re moving fast to solve a problem or responding to someone’s needs, the fastest will win in the end.
Trust your intuition. It’s that feeling you get, that sudden move you make, and that voice that tells you the truth that can help you make smarter, faster decisions. General George S. Patton said, “A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.”
You must be flexible. Can you look at the big picture, break it down and execute it efficiently? Can you see where adjustments should be made to prevent wasting time? Are you able to let go of what doesn’t work? You should be able to think on your feet and be productive at the same time.
You must be adaptable. This goes along with being flexible. Our environment is always changing, and you’ll face challenges every day. What worked yesterday won’t always be right for today, or tomorrow. Be open to new ideas and concepts. Juggling multiple projects with ease is important.
You must listen well. Be present for your team and hear the challenges they’re facing. Listen deeply and ask questions so you can help them help themselves solve their problems.
Navigate like the Mako, have a desire for speed and knowledge and get ready to launch your business like a rocket!
