‘’The paradox of skill is a phrase Mauboussin said he learned from the late eminent biologist Stephen Jay Gould. The concept applies to any domain, including business and sports, and considers skill on an absolute and relative basis, he said. Relative skill is particularly important, he said, because as the gap between the “very best” and average participants shrinks, excellence becomes more uniform.’’ https://lnkd.in/dZZYuQbc
