How to find the rate determining step?

For any reaction mechanism, how do you find the rate determining step? Is there a pattern to look for and a specific feature to identify to find the slowest step of reaction?
Thx

I was trying to find the slowest reaction, but I don't think molecularity would help...

hey,
you could look at the rate law or the activation energy of each step to determine the rate determing step(slowest step).
