I had read Bennis's story about the Wallenda family before but it made as big an impression on me the second time around. Many leaders struggle with the discipline it takes to get into the "zone" because they are pulled in so many directions, distracted with paperwork, and consumed with details. And at the same time "hold on to the pole so no one gets hurt"? Not likely. Great post!

That has very powerful implications and could not be anymore true. It seems the universe moves to manifest the very things we think about, read about and talk about most. Focus is just about the hardest task on anyones list these day. The instant gratification nation is pushing the edge each and everyday so much so that focus has become somewhat of a valuable commodity. Great post. Thank you for taking the time.
