Have you ever wondered about success, either for yourself or what has helped someone else?  Have you ever tried to uncover whatever “it” is that catapults some individuals to success and leaves most others stuck on the launch pad. Since this blog focuses on a variety of perspectives that can enhance the success of senior business leader, we are going to focus on a book about success and an interesting perspective it offers.  Malcolm Gladwell, the author of Blink and Tipping Point, is out with his latest work titled “Outliers: The Story of Success”.  In the marketing of this book he caught my attention.  He noted that success isn’t directly attributable to intelligence and ambition, but to things that surround us like customs, family, quirks of timing or perhaps the year we were born.  So does this book have the “huh factor” and does Mr. Gladwell deliver?
