In talent we trust
I owe to Steve Shu for the opportunity to read (only now) this interesting essay by Malcolm Gladwell about talent mind-set in the context of Enron situation:

Of particular interest, for me, the research showing pitfalls of basing one’s confidence in his intelligence instead of in his persistence and efforts.
Then, as could be expected, smart people vs smart organization issue.
I found accidentally that the essay even ended up as an example for analysis of good writing.
