In other words, instead of building on successes, the band became better and more successful because they put their energy into compensating for their weaknesses, he said.

  • And the last lesson educators can learn from Fleetwood Mac? The path to genius is often riddled with experiments involving many different methods and strategies over a long period of time, said Gladwell. Learning does not happen in one big burst of genius, he said. "Sometimes the struggle to learn something is where the actual learning lies."
