Am glad HN allows re-posting. I'd have definitely missed this wonderful article. I've read so many articles on leadership and this is one and probably one of the few that I've found meaningful along with Ed Catmull's story at Pixar and Jack Welsh's autobiography. While it's true that Tweets and facebook messages are distracting, it's also true that these are the sources of some of the best available information today. If we learn to tune ourselves not to be distracted,and rather focus on a couple of tweets or facebook messages that we want to or find interesting, that might probably be the best way to stay focused and imbibe all the other qualities that this article has put forth.
