Talent Code
£6.74
Talent. You've either got it or you haven't.' Not true actually. In The Talent Code award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that far from being some abstract mystical power fixed at birth ability really can be created & nurtured. In the process he considers talent at work in venues as diverse as a music school in Dallas & a tennis academy near Moscow to demostrate how the wiring of our brains can be transformed by the way we approach particular tasks. He explains what is really going on when apparently unremarkable people suddenly make a major leap forward. He reveals why some teaching methods are so much more effective than others. Above all he shows how all of us can achieve our full potential if we set about training our brains in the right way. ...

Talent Is Overrated
£8.96
What if everything you know about raw talent hard work & great performance is wrong? Few if any of the people around you are truly great at what they do. But why aren't they? Why don't they manage businesses like Jack Welch or Andy Grove play golf like Tiger Woods or play the violin like Itzhak Perlman? Asked to explain why a few people truly excel most of us offer one of two answers: hard work or a natural talent. However scientific evidence doesn't support the notion that specific natural talents make great performers. In one of the most popular Fortune articles in years Geoff Colvin offered new evidence that top performers in any field
- from Tiger Woods & Winston Churchill to Warren Buffett & Jack Welch
- are not determined by their inborn talents. Greatness doesn't come from DNA but from practice & perseverance honed over decades. & not just plain old hard work but a very specific kind of work. The key is how you practice how you analyze the results of your progress & learn from your mistakes that enables you to achieve greatness. Now Colvin has expanded his article with much more scientific background & real-life examples. He shows that the skills of business
- negotiating deals evaluating financial statements & 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 & interactions can be systematically enhanced. This new mind-set combined with Colvin's practical advice will change the way you think about your job & career
- & will inspire you to achieve more in all you do.
