Roger Martin interviews best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell about his latest novel, Outliers: The Story of Success (Little, Brown and Company, 2008) and finds that success is much more complex than we might think. Gladwell clarifies that, if we want to comprehend why some people thrive and others do not, we should spend the bulk of our time looking around the person - at such things as their family, their birthplace, even their birth date.
Along the way he touches on 'disadvantages that turn into edges'; the strong learning strategy of compensating for the weaknesses of one; and why just 30 per cent of any result can be correlated with general intelligence.
