The Myth of Talent
Alissa at HR Metrics Blog says
"Measuring talent is probably not the most effective use of your time
Talent is ability: I have the ability to clean my bedroom
Performance is actually getting the job done: My bedroom is a horrific mess
I have the talent for it, but when it comes to tidying, Im not much of a performer"
Great points!
And so what is it that makes you a great performer?
Hard Work and Practice!

Mandar - You are adding a third dimension here - which is "motivation" to convert talent into performance. And that again could be a function of various factors - primarily driven by WIIFM (Whats In It For Me). So you're right about that - and it doesnt take away anything that is mentioned in the post!
