A good hitter has timing. A good pitcher upsets timing.
I don't know if I have actually good comedic timing. But I don't think I've worked at any timing. I think timing is probably something you can't work at. Well, I don't know. I definitely didn't work at it.
The only thing I don't think people don't understand about good leaders is that they're both good and lucky. A lot of it is timing.
