yes thank you for these thoughts, very helpful. beautifully put—the middle path as a constant ebb and flow is a paradox: knowing when to push forward and when to release. maybe the real challenge isn’t just walking the tightrope, but embracing the moments when we wobble. for managers, this dance is even more complex—when to push a team toward growth and when to step back, when to challenge and when to support. maybe the secret is learning to hear the rhythm before we step. how do you personally recognize when it’s time to act and when it’s time to let go?
