Ep.12. Can 10,000 Hours of Deliberate Practice Create a Genius?

31 Oct 2024

Description

"The Scientific Study of Expert Levels of Performance: general implications for optimal learning and creativity" by K. Anders Ericsson "The Expert Performance Approach and Deliberate Practice: Some Potential Implications for Studying Creative Performance in Organizations" in Handbook Of Organizational Creativity by K. Anders Ericsson and Jerad H. Moxley This pair of academic texts explores the concept of expertise and expert performance, examining how it is developed and measured. Both texts argue against the traditional view of expertise being based on innate talent or simply extended experience, instead advocating for the crucial role of deliberate practice in achieving and maintaining high levels of performance. The first text focuses on deliberate practice as a key factor in the development of individual expertise across diverse fields such as chess, music, and sports, providing specific examples and illustrating how this type of practice leads to gradual but significant improvements over time. The second text expands on this concept, applying it to the realm of professional expertise and organizational creativity. It discusses the limitations of relying solely on subjective assessments, such as supervisor ratings, and instead emphasises the need for objective measures of performance to effectively evaluate expertise. The authors also explore challenges in measuring creativity within organisations, highlighting the difficulty of finding reliable and quantifiable metrics for creative output.
