Expanding on a landmark cover story in Fortune , a top journalist debunks the myths of exceptional performance .
One of the most popular Fortune articles in many years was a cover story called “What It Takes to Be Great.” Geoff Colvin offered new evidence that top performers in any field--from Tiger Woods and Winston Churchill to Warren Buffett and Jack Welch--are not determined by their inborn talents. Greatness doesn’t come from DNA but from practice and perseverance honed over decades.
And not just plain old hard work, like your grandmother might have advocated, but a very specific kind of work. The key is how you practice, how you analyze the results of your progress and learn from your mistakes, that enables you to achieve greatness.
Now Colvin has expanded his article with much more scientific background and real-world examples. He shows that the skills of business—negotiating deals, evaluating financial statements, and all the rest—obey the principles that lead to greatness, so that anyone can get better at them with the right kind of effort. Even the hardest decisions and interactions can be systematically improved.
This new mind-set, combined with Colvin’s practical advice, will change the way you think about your job and career—and will inspire you to achieve more in all you do.
以前看过被很多专业人士大为推荐的《异类》,知道了10000小时理论(各个领域的杰出人士需要10000小时的联系)。这本《哪来的天才》正好互为参照,看来那99%的汗水一说不是小时候老师忽悠我们的啊!想到了一个兄弟在毕业前夕感叹,老师说的其实都是对的… 具体而言,这是10000...
评分跟这本类似还有一本叫The talent code,我看书的时候一直觉得就是一个自然延伸的,结果居然不是同一个人写的,年代也非常接近,用的terms也是一样的。感觉这里有必要先从Talent code说起。 那本的笔记在这里:(sigh,不仔细做笔记就是错误的,现在来回忆内容就发现已经忘记不...
评分一 如果你很忙,那你一定是错的。 通常我们都会认为那些在某一领域所花费时间更多的人更容易走向卓越,但是通过对一所大学小提琴手的调查研究发现,事实刚好相反:普通小提琴手比那些精通的小提琴手花的时间更多,而那些精通的小提琴手则将更多的时间用来休息与放松。 ...
评分读了5页英文,觉得不值得仔细看;继续读半本的中文,觉得没有必要一页一页看了(可以试试“十倍速影像阅读法”);然后我就去看看作者到底是个什么人。 找到答案了。 Geoffrey Colvin is the author of Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers f...

逻辑真他妈的垃圾,多少废话才能写出一整本书来
评分看完Talent Is Overrated,大致是两个短语:刻意练习和内在激励。有益的例子来自253页。3.5星可以有。
评分一般,干货不多,和很多已有知识重合,就当加深概念,可以更加坚定去行动。专注,努力。Good luck and never stop till you succeed.
