I once read a really interesting article that looked at what happened when a star trader moved from one company to another. Guess what? They rarely (if ever) replicated their success. Turns out a superstar is only as good as the team that they work with. Too often we place too much stock in the capabilities of the individual player and don’t pay enough attention to the conditions that are surrounding that person and enabling them to be successful. Think about how much more successful you are when you’re surrounded by great talent. It’s much easier to win when you’re with others that want to win too.
