Books I liked - Talent is Overrated

Written by Geoff Colvin

The book makes a compelling argument that true performance is based on deliberate practice and continuous feedback. It is the old argument 'Nature vs. Nurture' leaning heavily towards 'Nurture'.

Reading it with an open mind will almost certainly have an impact on your way of managing people.

I was also fascinated by the 10 000 hour rule - It takes 10 000 hours of deliberate practice combined with continuous feedback to be really good.
