6/10/2023 0 Comments Talent is overrated bookWith an eye-catching title and an alluring subtitle – “What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else” – Fortune editor-at-large Geoff Colvin’s book “Talent is Overrated” provides excellent food for thought in today’s knowledge economy.ĭebunking age-old notions that nature matter a lot more than nurture, the book proposes that prodigious amounts of deliberate practice is the key to success in multiple fields.Ĭiting examples from the worlds of music, sport and business like Mozart, Tiger Woods, and Jack Welch, Colvin’s central thesis is that top performers are not born but made. How does one become a world class performer in any field? Can we improve our chances of success despite being born to adverse conditions? Bruce Lee obviously knows the value of deliberate practice.
