    In today’s society, everyone seems to have their own definition of success and how to achieve it. In Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers, Gladwell claims that successful individuals are not only naturally talented, but that they practice a lot. According to Daniel Levitin, “The emerging picture from such studies is that ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world class-expert--- in anything.” (Gladwell 40). Although I agree with both Gladwell and Levitin in that ten thousand hours of practice may help in achieving a level of mastery, I still insist that natural talent and environmental factors play a much bigger role in how someone becomes successful in a certain area, because practice…

    The article, “The Talent Myth,” by Malcolm Gladwell analyzes the connection between hiring, retaining, and disproportionately promoting employees based on their inherent talents or potential to succeed, an atmosphere which challenges societal norms of rewarding employees based on experience and performance. Not a fan of this myth, Gladwell claims an organization that supports this environment lacks tacit knowledge, promotes narcissism, and creates a decentralized organization system. While the key notion behind the talent mindset calls for organizations to ceaselessly recruit talent from top tier schools, a “talent mythers” metric of success, Gladwell argues that is not the case. Gladwell challenges this assumption by using a study that measures…
