I feel the success of any writer, professor, storyteller, lecturer, policymaker, I will include lawyer and doctor in that, depends on how much the person can zoom in to the detail, and pull out when necessary. Pulling out or zooming out at the time appropriate is very essential because no matter how heavenly detail is, and I deify detail, it wouldn't make sense unless it is viewed in the purview of the bigger picture. You cannot be too subtle for you run the risk of being ignored by the less discerning (and the less discerning make the majority), yet you have to come out clean, unscathed by the accusations of insulting the collective intelligence of your potential audience. It is the right balance of how much to elaborate, and how much to leave it to be deciphered between the lines that defines the followership (ergo, success) of any person in any type of profession I have mentioned.
