- Abstract
Throughout their lives, individuals accumulate and apply lessons learned from instruction and experience. It is unclear how they transfer these lessons to become accomplished in their fields. In this exploratory study, we develop grounded hypotheses about the relationship of transfer to accomplishment. Selected individuals told stories about what they learned that influenced their major accomplishments, their sources, and timing. Findings indicate that individuality is magnified on the road to accomplishment, although shared lessons were evident. Attitudes and values, adopted and applied, seemed to play a special role in the passage from transfer to accomplishment.
