Hacking Your Passions

I recently wrote at FYP about the balance between contributing both individually and as part of a team in the workplace. While rummaging through the internets this evening I came across this article The Top Five Myths of Teamwork that delves into the subject a bit further.

One of my favorite thinkers, Malcolm Gladwell (The Turning Point and Blink) gave a presentation at TED a few years ago about the man who revolutionized spaghetti sauce. The real theme of the presentation, however, is looking at a problem from different angles and not taking anything, especially the “status quo”,  for granted. People who say something “isn’t done that way” are only referring to themselves – you might try doing it that way and find success through doing so!
