Have you ever wondered how generalists thrive in a specialized world? I recently had a chance to sit down with David Epstein , author of Range, a fantastic book that covers this topic. Personally, I found the concepts of kind and wicked learning environments to be an interesting part of the book. David’s message: “In wicked learning environments, breadth is the hack.” Watch the clip below and leave us a comment about how you’ve found that having a breadth of experience or specialization has helped in your career or facilitated your learning! #Specialization #CrossFunctionality #Generalist #Range #Indistractable P.S. David’s book, Range, and my new book, Indistractable, were recently placed on the BookPal Longlist for the 2019 Outstanding Works of Literature (OWL) Award in the “Big Idea” category. The five books in each of the fifteen categories represent the top reading recommendations for individuals and teams to inspire new ideas, expand perspectives, and fall in love with reading. Congrats to all other authors and works on the Longlist! Check out the full release at the link in the comments below.
