The Protege Truth
diegolego, 09:08h
Somewhere I found this blog post about what the writer calls the The Genius Fallacy.
I would like to add one thing, namely that one needs to be a protégé(e). Often enough one can see that colleagues achieving something do so, because of more or less heavy support - in particular behind the scenes. And maybe what the author describes influences how the 'mentor' chooses his or her protégé(e).
A somehow related, recent article was about the stories behind a CV. Somehow there seems to be a trend among academics to admit how hard and struggling career is.
Btw: the author also wrote about the structured procrastination trap (which I did not reead).
