Educational Psychology on "Competence" -
an excerpt from The Charge by Brendon Burchard

Educational psychologists and High-performance coaches have taught us much about competence

LOW COMPETENCE                                                               HIGH COMPETENCE

You do not pay attention to problems, conflicts                       You pay attention to problems more
or bigger challenges = procrastination

Choose low-challenge tasks                                                    Choose high-challenge tasks

Low effort                                                                        Hard work to create positive outcome

Not resilient or adaptable                                               More willing to adjust approach and adapt

Follower                                                                                              Leader

Do not trust abilities                                                                      Trusts own abilities

Not a learner                                                                                       Learner


SO: Develop your competence through mastery of your environment.
