Each time I held my breath – even though I know the end. Amazing. And, amazing perspective. Being the best, knowing it, being able to credibly convey it – that's remarkable. Those are the folks who can change the trajectory of a company (or a work group... or a person). Illustrating this with the story of a loved-one's health is truly powerful. Thanks for the amazing story. And, amazing insight. Wow. I’ve read this post several times now. Each time I held my breath – even though I know the end. Amazing. And, amazing perspective.

The human markets angle is also powerful. In my experience most large companies do not know how to deal with drop dead, killer, best-in-the-business talent. Too many programs are set up to move everyone towards the mean-- even those in the upper 1%. The story is so powerful on a personal level.

I can't imagine making the tough decisions you had to make with your wife lying there and a premier doctor telling you he wanted to try again. You did the right thing...saying no. And wow about the Chief. That just blows me away. Sometimes only the very best will do. It did. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. It made a huge impact. Folks around our office are saying "wow" this morning. Wow, this post is huge on the human scale and on the human markets scale.
