# Chapter 85

Leading a team of leaders is one of the best rushes ever! Every person sitting at that table is a fine leader in their own right and they have committed themselves to helping your shared project go further faster better. You had better be at your best and on your toes. They have little patience and less tolerance for mental miscues and frivolous thinking, than any other group you work with. But if you set the context correctly and feed the fire just right, the magic is awesome and inspiring. I just feel privileged that I get to spend time with people like this! They raise my expectations of what can and will be accomplished over and over, and that is very different than what you experience in any other platform!

So the pleasure of hanging out with people like this is so luxurious and stressful that it is difficult to describe. Yes I said luxurious and stressful. It is luxurious in the sense that they are top talent and you get to push and shove mentally with them on a variety of topics. And it is stressful and exhausting because you get to push and shove mentally with them, they brook no foolishness so you need to be and stay sharp, think and think hard, focus and don’t blink, it is rather a high pressure experience that is addicting. I honestly wish we did it more often! You should try it and buckle up for a fast hot ride.
