Talent Is Overrated

One of the largest commodities in the world today is ability and talent. Unfortunately, great ability and talent is also one of the rarest commodities.

What is the difference between top performers and the average Joe Six Pack? Why do some achieve and most do not?

Today, we visit with Geoff Colvin. He’s a longtime editor and columnist for FORTUNE and an award-winning thinker, author, broadcaster, and speaker on today’s most significant trends in business. Hee has become one of America’s sharpest and most respected commentators on leadership, globalization, wealth creation, the infotech revolution, and related issues.

In 2006, Geoff wrote a powerful article “What it Takes to be Great.” The response to this article was so profound that it lead to one of the leading books focused on talent and human development, “Talent is Overrated.”

Business – Music – Sport – the concept of talent is a human thing – not specific to any one endeavor.

Where does talent come from? Are we born with Talent? Is it a Natural? Is Talent learned?

How important then is environment in the development of Talent? Your friends, parents, coaches, mentors, teachers, bosses and what about the culture of performance?

Is Greatness Up For Grabs?

We ask these questions and more as we investigate: What it Truly Takes to be Great in the episode of Krush Performance.
