We convince ourselves that talent combined with a strong work ethic is the key to getting ahead, but also realize that combination often fails to yield results, without any deeper understanding as to why. Recognizing this striking disconnect, the author, along with a team of renowned researchers and some of the most advanced data-crunching systems on the planet, dedicated themselves to one goal: uncovering that ever-elusive link between performance and success. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, based on years of academic research, \u003ci\u003eThe Formula\u003c\/i\u003e finally unveils the groundbreaking discoveries of their pioneering study, not only highlighting the scientific and mathematic principles that underpin success, but also revolutionizing our understanding of: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Why performance is necessary but not adequate Why \"Experts\" are often wrong How to assemble a creative team primed for success How to most effectively engage our networks \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"This is not just an important but an imperative project: to approach the problem of randomness and success using the state of the art scientific arsenal we have.
