Arthur Miller (realistic, politically engaged dramas) and Christopher Durang (satirical dark comedies) are examples. But August stands apart, he has his special way of seeing things. I remember he and I were at one of those fancy benefits the Rep has. The gay men’s chorus was singing, and I was very proud to have brought them into a Rep event. And August says, ‘You know, I don’t see any black people up there.’ That was his focus—the lives of black people.” Dan Sullivan

Dan Sullivan Future, Ownership, Life Control, Empowerment Ideas, Unlimited Possibility“It can be easy to focus on How, especially for high achievers who want to control what they can control, which is themselves. It takes vulnerability and trust to expand your efforts and build a winning team. It takes wisdom to recognize that 1) other people are more than capable enough to handle much of the Hows, and 2) that your efforts and contribution (your “Hows”) should be focused exclusively where your greatest passion and impact are. Your attention and energy should not be spread thin, but purposefully directed where you can experience extreme flow and creativity.” Dan Sullivan
