Let me fly in a short comment here: This makes me think about the example David Bowie. I had the pleasure to meet his old companion Mick Ronson as he lived his last years here in Sweden and I also read and watched several interviews with Iggy Pop where he talks about "the difference between David Bowie and ordinary men" and I'm under the impression that Bowie has acquired the ability to turn off whatever thoughts not needed for the actual working situation. That's why he can "write lyrics for a song during a taxi ride", for example. The example from the corporate world is well chosen too, because the conflict is obvious there: if a CEO can't protect his creative time to keep it "quality time" in order to deliver the optimal decisions for optimizing the work of all staff his failure will show pretty soon in the reports.
