Zones of Being
Gay Hendricks [1] explains in his book The Big Leap [2], there are 4 zones, any human being would operate, while doing their daily activities. He further explains that, while most of us would operate in Zones of Competence or Excellence or Incompetence, we seldomly recognize our Zone of Genius.
