Human Resources / Candidate/leader description
English term or phrase: a sense of urgency
This 'sense of urgency' appears several times and I'm struggling to find a good way to express it in Danish.

Here's just one example:

"Taking on new opportunities and tough challenges with a sense of urgency, high energy and enthusiasm."

Perhaps something with 'prioriterer det højt'?

Deadline is in a few hours...

Tak!

Notes to answerer
Asker: No, I went for the first 'en fornemmelse af noget påtrængende' but I agree that 'en fornemmelse af påtrængenHED' has a totally different meaning. It is the first option that was used. The question was closed a long time ago...

Explanation:
The semantic meaning here ("with a sense of urgency") is, as I interpret it, rather one indicating that a person is not wavering around, back and forth for ages considering this and that, but is able to make confident and swift decisions in order to continuously move forward in a hectic environment.

Example sentence(s):
  • "En person, som tager nye muligheder og udfordringer på sig med beslutningskraft, energi og entusiasme"
