We have various levels of talent, IQ, and capability to expand or develop, and our individual capacity should grow until we reach our potential. It’s rare, however, that a person’s capacity is reached early in life. Almost everyone falls short of reaching his or her capacity.
It’s currently working as of Dec 2021, so make sure that you take advantage of it before Course Hero decides to “fix” it. If you’re lost or something is not working, please read and follow the steps in the guide carefully again. I’ve tested this multiple times on various Course Hero documents and it works perfectly.

I believe it’s important we understand two elements of capacity: Everyone has a unique parameter to their capacity. We have various levels of talent, IQ, and capability to expand or develop, and our individual capacity should grow until we reach our potential. It’s rare, however, that a person’s capacity is reached early in life.
Orison Swett Marden said it best, “The greatest thing a man can do in this world, is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other.”
Putting efficient systems in place actually enable team members to get more done than they ever imagined. Systems are like a track that helps a locomotive engine make progress more effectively. We need systems to reach our potential.

Most of us hide behind the excuse that we’ve stretched as much as we can. It’s not true.
Generally speaking, we do not reach our capacity unless we’re placed in demanding situations. “If you aren’t over your head, how do you know how tall you are?” wrote T. S. Elliot. The truth is, people are like rubber bands: we’re most useful when we’re stretched. Demanding experiences are like lifting weights. They make us stronger. I am speaking of the contexts that force us to work long and hard and show grit.
Whether it’s you or someone on your team, the good news is—capacity can grow. It has limits, but it can develop. In fact, Stanford psychology professor Carol Dweck tells us our brains work like a muscle. We just have to employ the right exercises to grow that muscle. If you have a team member who seems to have stalled and now shows no promise of improving—try these five ideas:
