Westlandsche Courant 'Talent in action is an outstandingly entertaining book, that's the least we can say. The fact is that author Georges Anthoon draws from his own experience and motives. He interlaces his story with lots of 'asides', illustrative anecdotes of colleagues, staff members, friends. All this makes it a pleasure to read.' HR Magazine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I never thought about human's talent prior to having the opportunity to read about my granddaughters introduction to orthopedic surgery at Washington University in St. Luis. "I knew I wanted to be a physician since fifth grade, Dr. Lily Bogunovic. Rest is described in toto in my book. Word talent has been used in human's conversation for centuries without any deep meaning as humans talent deserve as a essential part of humans life as for every humans life direction and life purpose to be realized in period depending on the power of given talent as every electrical power that we are not able to see but only to observe it given fruits-result. What talent is no one can confirm with certainty because no one ever seen talent that is as I said like electrical power that we see not but what we see its light that is result of that invisible power. There are many different believe about what talent is and is no argument on my side because I do respect everybody's opinion and believe with assumption that talent is everybody's personal property as I do call gift that is given free but not with free responsibilities that are much expensive. Talent is as I intended to present as a power of love that is in the heart that must be born mainly in loving and carrying family where mother has essential importance together with fathers support. Born in Family and later dressed or better to say educated in education as a best way for the future of that given gift. Talent was dressed in education to be indoctrinated in society by providing adequate place for its activities. We must accept that talent is like Duracell batteries with limited lasting that must be utilize in given time. I personally worked 50 years as medical doctor to finish in time when I felt that here is no more power in my battery-my talent and that I am at present time alone in this world ready to retire. My goal is to share my experience with my children that are born with different talent to become and to enter our society ready for their life duty according to given talents. DPB.

Download or read book Rebel Talent written by Francesca Gino and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In this groundbreaking book, Francesca Gino shows us how to spark creativity, excel at work, and become happier: By learning to rebel.” — Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better Do you want to follow a script — or write your own story? Award-winning Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino shows us why the most successful among us break the rules, and how rebellion brings joy and meaning into our lives. Rebels have a bad reputation. We think of them as troublemakers, outcasts, contrarians: those colleagues, friends, and family members who complicate seemingly straightforward decisions, create chaos, and disagree when everyone else is in agreement. But in truth, rebels are also those among us who change the world for the better with their unconventional outlooks. Instead of clinging to what is safe and familiar, and falling back on routines and tradition, rebels defy the status quo. They are masters of innovation and reinvention, and they have a lot to teach us. Francesca Gino, a behavioral scientist and professor at Harvard Business School, has spent more than a decade studying rebels at organizations around the world, from high-end boutiques in Italy’s fashion capital, to the World’s Best Restaurant, to a thriving fast food chain, to an award-winning computer animation studio. In her work, she has identified leaders and employees who exemplify “rebel talent,” and whose examples we can all learn to embrace. Gino argues that the future belongs to the rebel — and that there’s a rebel in each of us. We live in turbulent times, when competition is fierce, reputations are easily tarnished on social media, and the world is more divided than ever before. In this cutthroat environment, cultivating rebel talent is what allows businesses to evolve and to prosper. And rebellion has an added benefit beyond the workplace: it leads to a more vital, engaged, and fulfilling life. Whether you want to inspire others to action, build a business, or build more meaningful relationships, Rebel Talent will show you how to succeed — by breaking all the rules.

Book excerpt: What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? This groundbreaking work provides readers with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others. Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism. Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything. • Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice. • Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development. • Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students. These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished. Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential.
