The book is called "Talent is Overrated." It should be read before, and as a companion to, "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. Did you know he did an entire book and that article is an excerpt?

Thank you for the article! It really underscores the importance of coaching and feedback, as well as focused, honest, and unflinching attention to weak points, in the creation of top performers.

But using Ballmer as some sort of exemplar is flawed. He was a buddy of Bill Gates who stayed with him as the business grew. Gates happened to retire at a very early age and put Ballmer into his spot. Ballmer seems to be just a caretaker exec and often acts very foolish in public. Thanks for this excellent post.
