The Dangerous Comfort of the Talent Myth
Two mediocre employees share a cubicle at Procter & Gamble in 1978, playing waste-bin basketball and showing zero ambition. Their colleagues vote them "least likely to succeed." Within two decades, Jeffrey Immelt and Steven Ballmer would lead General Electric and Microsoft as CEOs of the world's most valuable corporations. What changed? The answer challenges everything we've been taught about human potential. We cling to two comforting explanations for exceptional achievement: hard work (which research proves insufficient) or natural talent (which excuses our own limitations). Both are wrong. Recent research reveals that the "gifts" possessed by top performers may not exist at all. International chess masters often have below-average IQs. Mozart's genius emerged only after eighteen years of rigorous training under his father, an accomplished pedagogue. Tiger Woods received intensive coaching from age seven months. The factor separating good from great isn't innate ability-it's something called "deliberate practice." It hurts. It's hard. But it works.
