We often think that greatness is a synonym for brilliance. That great leadership is all about magnetism and communication. For which we need vision and boldness, allies and luck. And of course, to be successful in any field, but particularly in leadership, all of those things are true. But we also need something far simpler that is yet even more rare.

We need the ability to focus, to lock in, to do what has been termed “deep work.”

As one of Churchill’s political contemporaries would observe of that great man, “concentration was one of the keys to his character. It was not always obvious, but he never really thought of anything else but the job in hand.”
