The Dark Side Of Genius

Hi, it’s Robin Sharma. Quick insight for you today. All genius has a dark side. So whether it’s a Beethoven or a Buffet, whether it’s a Federer or a Serena Williams, whether it is a Jean-Michel Basquiat or a Ferran Adrià. The things that allow for genius all have a downside or a dark side. Here are some examples: Someone who is absolutely brilliant at execution has a dark side to manage of impatience. Someone like Steve Jobs, who is a fanatical perfectionist could be seen as demanding. Someone who is amazingly creative could self-sabotage with too many ideas. The key is this, honor your gift, manage the downside.
