Talent Is Overrated

Talent Is Overrated

Talent is often seen as the top priority when hiring others and when we examine our own lives. But is talent THE determining factor in success and high performance? Or are there other characteristics that may matter more?

Talent is merely an entry point. Without it, we don’t get to join the team and play. But it in no way guarantees that we’ll become an A player. 

What about drive, the willingness to push ourselves, to endure discomfort, to overcome adversity, to owning our own outcomes, to avoid excuse-making, the commitment to figure it out (whatever IT may be)? What about our willingness to do what must be done so we can perform at the highest level? 

Listen in as Lisa and I discuss what we’ve seen out here in the real world of high performance teams, organizations and individuals.

Be well. Do good. Grow great!

Lisa texted me this quote, which prompted today’s show.

purpose quote

Sir Ken Robinson wrote a book a few years ago entitled, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything. He defined “the element” as the intersection where our natural aptitude and what we love meet. 

 

 

This is one of – if not THE best speech you’ll hear. The man was brilliant. I’m sad he’s gone. 

Today’s show isn’t about simply finding what you love the most, but it’s about investing in your own growth and improvement. It’s about accepting responsibility for your own life – and career.

How Do You Know If Your Performance Is High?

How Do You Know If Your Performance Is High?

YouTube player

 

Ask just about any leader or boss, “Is your team or organization high performing?” and they’ll likely remark, “Yes.” Follow that up with a question, “Can you prove it?” and that’s when the conversation can get astonishingly quiet. How can we know we’re high performing individually and collectively?

When we hear so much about high-performing cultures it may be time to focus more intently on how we can grow and improve our own performance as leaders…and how we can have a bigger impact in helping others increase their performance, too.

Growth.

Improvement.

Significance.

Happiness.

Contentment.

These are just a few of the basic things we’re all interested in if we’re aiming to be our best. Nobody listening to this podcast is interested in complacency. We want to keep moving forward.

Sometimes we’re faced with situations where we wonder if it’s time for us to make a change. Many things can drive those feelings. There is no “one size fits all.” When asked to specifically address some broad-based generalization I always respond with “it depends.” The primary objective in today’s show is to give you some things to consider in your own journey to figure it out for yourself, or to help others figure it out.
