I am currently reading this book ‘Range - Why generalists triumph in a specialized world’ and it brings a fresh perspective that being ‘Jack-of-all-trades’ does have merit. It is counterintuitive to what we all have been told since childhood - Pick a #career and specialize in it. In the world full of specialists, having dabbled in a range of work exposes one to different ideas and the ability to have diverse perspectives. In some sense, traditional companies always encouraged senior leadership roles to work in different departments to understand the business more holistically. Coming to #entrepreneurs , I have personally seen that the ability to wear different hats at the same time and the ability to deep dive into these different subjects is a hallmark of a good entrepreneur. #WeekendMusings …see more

Many people have theories, but what philosopher, Dr. James Carse, figured out is more profound. He articulated a basic truth about how the world actually works. His work has had a profound impact on me and my work. So much so, I wrote a book to pick up where he left off. Sadly, Dr. Carse died in September 2020. Fortunately I had a chance to sit down with him a few months before, to chat with him about belief, fulfillment and the Infinite Game. This is…A Bit of Optimism.
