Myth # 1 Talents are rare and special: The truth is there is nothing particularly special about talent. Remember, a talent is simply a recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior. The key is for managers to help each employee cultivate his talents by finding him a role that plays to those talents. Nurses who can empathize are valuable as floor nurses, not administrators. Similarly, surgeons and anesthesiologists may love the thrill of life and death decisions that others might feel as pressure. They are well suited for their jobs.
Myth # 2: Some roles are so easy, they don’t require talent: All roles require talent. And managers who assume anyone could do a particular job or that everyone doing that job wants out of it as soon as possible are seeing the position through their own filters.
