My adopted family is from Germany and they have the ideaology of NO ERRORS. Never any errors. So I learned to be methodical, and get things right. In Finance, employers liked that my reports were done accurately and quickly.
When traveling, forensics, and reporting over the last some years, that kind of reporting has been an accumulation and marriage or hybrid of multi-discplinary approaches. Combing methods used for Financial Controller Auditing & Incorporation Due Diligence, with Behaviorism, Lie Detection, Interviewing, and also very specialized mini add-on trainings I've had over the years. The work, has felt like work.
The process of learning is:
Unconscious Incompetence

Before I read this article by Inc., I was questioning if I was being slow, and the answer is NO. Methodical, yes, but Slow, no. Instead, the writer shared about those who are making fast calculations using a multi-system approach. It's more intuitive. The level of results seem like they may be comparible to the methodical expert; the difference is that the intuitive cannot easily explain how they got there.
In Teaching, or in Mastery, the Expert can explain how they got there.
This, has been my journey, my quest, with anything I'm deeply interested in. How to get there with accuracy and speed first; then how to explain it second. Therefore, anything perceived as slow, is a misconception. It's not slow, it's just in process, before the stage of expert verbal competency. The systems came to the conclusion so quickly, that it's usually the research paper that proves the solution. At least in my research work, it seems to be this way.
I find I do better with a team of brilliant experts. There is this thing with collective unconscious that happens too, when you work with a group, all having the same values and goals. When working at peak, and everyone is healthy, it also creates a magical sweet-spot.
What sweet spot are you in? What is your style, fast or slow?
