Positively Deviant
from Only Human – News, Analysis, and Insights from the World of Human Performance · host Dr. Tony Kern
“Deviance” is typically a negative term used to describe those who violate social norms or fail to meet even the lowest standard of performance. But on the other side of the performance spectrum are positive deviants, who defy norms and expectations by discovering their unique greatness. In this episode of the Only Human with Dr. Tony Kern podcast, Tony reminds us that recognizing deviance at the top of the performance spectrum is just as vital as eliminating it at the bottom end—perhaps more so.
