It occurred to me why people don't value intelligence as much as perseverance. IQ gives you instantaneous understanding of a problem. However, whatever advantage this might give, the fact that it is intelligence over time that matters. And while the Einsteins of the world may look at a problem and have an instant epiphany, it takes only moments of thinking for every one else to derive the same conclusion. To really have an advantage, Einstein would need to be in an environment where everyone else can't keep up, where an epiphany is necessary to succeed. This is not how business works. In business things are comparatively slow and steady and there is a right course of action that can be discovered in time. While Einstein might see a strategy instantly, Joe average can spend a couple hours and come to the same conclusion. In either case it may take months to implement.
