Training Industry Magazine - May/June 2020 - 24
Despite the best-selling efforts of
Malcolm Gladwell in "Outliers," many
continue to attribute accomplishments of
significance to people born with unique
talents. It's a sort of built-in defense
mechanism we have long been able
to muster up on demand to reduce
(and even eliminate) the dissonance
associated with our relative commonality.
The messaging sounds something like,
"People who do special things came into
this world with special gifts."
Natural talent is not a reliable predictor
of significant accomplishment.
Practice does not make perfect; only
perfect practice makes perfect.
Perfect or purposeful practice is
characterized by the following:
* Focus: There is noticeable
concentration on active display
during practice.
Unfortunately, the research findings of * Specific goals: There is a target to hit

With all of that as background, I would
offer it is difficult to be in the business
of leadership development and not
be intrigued by Ericsson's pioneering
contributions. After all, nobody cares
what people learn about leadership. They
only care about how what was learned
to drive productivity, improve employee
engagement and retain key talent.
And not unlike playing chess, playing
the piano or competitively swimming the
100-meter backstroke, the gap between
learning something for the first time
and consistently delivering outcomes
that distinguish you from the crowd is
a function of how you stick with it and
iteratively get better over time.
What do you think would happen if
leadership training were conducted
under the umbrella of perfect practice?
Common sense would suggest we
should be able to identify differences
