Talent Is Largely a Myth
There is a great book by Carol Dweck - Minset. She distinguishes two types of minset in people. Fixed - who believe their capabilities are  static and even when they have some success they are afraid to do more in order to not ruin the impression; and growth mindset - who believe almost everything can be developed and are not afraid to learn and try. There is a lot of research and interesting examples from businesses, social and sport in the book on the topic of thise different understandings of talent.
