Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience
As we look to tech wunderkinds with perfect SATs, we now live in a world where the highest IQ people earn the greatest financial rewards. And they earn it blindingly fast – not over a lifetime, but in a decade or less. While the talents, work ethic, and vision of these high-wattage early achievers is admirable, their preeminence should raise a number of concerns.
In this talk, author Rich Karlgaard will explain how we got here, why our obsession with early achievement runs counter to our development, how our preoccupation with early success limits our potential, and how we should better embrace the late bloomer.
