The article contrasts "10X" performers with "mediocre" performers, but this is exaggerating the required differences.
The difference between an Olympic medal and fourth place is often just hundreths of a second. Similarly small differences in luck can mean the difference between being classed as "10X" and being classed as "mediocre".
- Spooky23 6y agoPeople need a myth to justify insane salaries and compensation. Usually the difference between a high performer and a mediocre one is a combo of talent and leadership. You can’t have one without the other.
- PragmaticPulp 6y ago> The difference between an Olympic medal and fourth place is often just hundreths of a second. No Olympians are mediocre performers, even if they come in 4th place. Every Olympian would be at least a 10X performer relative to an average person in their sport.
- segmondy 6y agoThis is not the first time I'm hearing the difference between a an olympic medalist and a 4th place is just a hundredths of a second. The difference between a 10x and 1x is orders of magnitude. That will be the difference between an Olympic medalist and a college athlete. Here's a video that demonstrates such gap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i93vF0WOX6w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i93vF0WOX6w
