About the book
Fortune editor Geoff Colvin expands his magazine cover story What It Takes to Be Great into a case against the idea that top performers are born. Drawing on scientific research, he argues that figures such as Tiger Woods, Winston Churchill, Warren Buffett and Jack Welch owe their results neither to innate talent nor to plain hard work. What sets them apart is a very specific kind of work sustained over decades: how they practice, how they analyze their progress and how they learn from mistakes. Colvin holds that business skills obey the same principles, from negotiating deals to reading financial statements, so even hard decisions and interactions can be improved systematically with the right effort.
