The Last Note

Have you ever seen Yo-Yo Ma play his cello live and in person??Isn’t it amazing what he can do with a last note in a piece – how he extends and transfixes you by it – how quiet, but powerful it is??Have you ever found yourself saying I wish I would have said that better – done that differently??I wonder if there is still time for all of us to practice that last note – to leave others with a word, action, hug, or feeling that they remember and carry with them??What if you added “the last note” leadership practice into your way of working – how might you change your actions and words, so they had lasting impact – even if what preceded wasn’t perfect??How can your last note lead you to your next note?
