Untapped Potential
- Human potential is a vast, untapped resource, especially within companies.
- Businesses are incentivized to unlock this potential, but often fail due to flawed beliefs about people.

- We often mistakenly view ourselves as rational actors, but we're primarily driven by intuition and habits.
- This flawed belief affects how we perceive failure, attributing it to character flaws rather than systemic issues.

- Treat your workday as a series of experiments to uncover your strengths and weaknesses.
