Overcoming mediocrity

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Head & Heart Management, 2008, pp 128-130 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract To be mediocre means to be conspicuously lacking in distinction or imagination. It means to be average: neither good nor bad, yet it is usually used as a seriously pejorative adjective. Mediocre is worse than run of the mill: it implies not good enough; in fact, bad.
