Coming Together

I love this video clip that my friend Nelson Taylor posted on Facebook today.  Take a minute to watch it.

It always amazes me, how some individuals can lead a group of normal people to extraordinary actions.  In this video, Bobby McFerrin demonstrates how to create a unique and entertaining musical event by harnessing the collective talent in the audience. 

How many leaders squander the collective talent and energy of the audiences they encounter?  How many of us encourage others to join us in participating in the song?  

Bobby MeFerrin has an amazing talent.  But his talent is deeper than most think.  You'd probably say it's his voice.  Sure, he's got a great voice.  But what separates him is his ability to connect with his audience and get them to connect with each other.  This is his genius.

Here's another great example..
