LEADERSHIP, GOALS, DIRECTION, COURSE, TEAMWORK
A basketball metaphor applies to successful course correction. At the highest levels of involvement, a peak performer in business develops the combined skills of a great passer and a great shooter. The passer has to absorb the entire flow of action around him and still grab an opportunity for an assist as it arises. The shooter, on the other hand, has to exclude every extraneous element from his vision and concentrate only on the goal. The passer: mental agility. The shooter: concentration. From Peak Performers, by Charles Garfield, William Morrow and Company, New York, 1986, p. 233
