3. These people share a distinct commonality 10,000 hours Each had at least 10,000 hours before they created their best work outliers
4. “It makes a difference where and when we grew up…it’s not enough to ask what successful people are like, in other words, it is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeeds and who doesn’t”
Successes are what they are with the help of the surroundings of the individual… specific support played an integral role in the successes of all the individuals mentioned in this book. From artists to airplane pilots.
“Classical composers without exception don’t produce great work until their tenth year” Measured through culture and community. Practice and hardwork: The 10,000 hour effectImpatience breeds mediocrity… Complex jobs take along time to reach masteryLesson from Outliers according to Gladwell: how can we build institutions that provide opportunities to work hard
The Beatles: in the late 50’s the Beatles were invited to Germany to become the house band8 hour sets 7 nights a weekOver the course of that time, they learned to become great.

Leaders are judged before they have had a chance to complete their best workWe give up our support of leaders who fail within 6 months of their beginning. Change theories suggest a plan of action, a necessary approach to change. Outliers become the change once they’ve attained their practice quota. The unfortunate part of leadership is the lack of time given for one to prove ones worth. As a leader it is equally important to realize that followers also need the same time to perfect their status. The same 10,000 hours holds true for courageous followers to become proficient in their art.
