Same (or similar) study mentioned that employers were having difficulties with new workers who weren't able to be innovative in their approaches or take initiative when necessary. The new hires are excellent team players and get along well with others but, due to an upbringing where everything was scheduled for them, were unable to take a project and lead it through to completion. We may be doing our kids a disservice - asking them to be well-rounded and have a wide range of interests instead of finding those things that they like or in which they have success and mastering them.
