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.

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 评分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...
deliberate practice(有针对的练习)更管用。整个书的逻辑和依据还是挺严密的,还不错啦~~看完书后,我要认真训练羽毛球,哈哈~
评分Delibrate practice for years leads to great performance.Delibrate practice means a carefully designed plan, constant constructive feedback and strong motivation to overcome setbacks. However, world-class performance often comes at the sacrifice of personal relationships and other enjoyment.
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.
评分把优秀当作一种习惯来培养 至少也不会差劲到哪里去 这本书适合那些偏激的家长 拔苗助长的教育者 团队的领导者 还有每个人自身进步所用
评分理论是好,但是有必要写一整本书吗!看看人家的读书笔记就够了。10刀好心痛。
