Talent is Overrated – What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else by Geoff Colvin.

The good news is, we really do start out on equal footing. While it might seem that some have the knack or raw gift, Geoff has found that the research doesn’t support it. So if you want to be world-class, you’ve got to work and put the time in, but not just any kind of work, a very specific kind called “deliberate practice”. The bad news is that this “deliberate practice” isn’t fun. But more of it equals better performance, and tons of it equals great performance.

I talk Geoff about what really does get us ahead and what we can do to be truly excellent.
