  3. A quotation from Douglas Adams

    Most of the other shops were in fact impossible to identify. When a shop appeared to sell a mixture of ghetto blasters, socks, soap and chickens, it didn’t seem unreasonable to go in and ask if they’d got any paper or toothpaste stuck away in one of their shelves as well, but they looked at me as if I was completely mad. Couldn’t I see that this was a ghetto blaster, socks, soap and chicken shop?

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
    Last Chance to See, ch. 3 (1990) [with Mark Carwardine]

  7. @Mrfunkedude

    Was listening to one of the supernerds, he was framing this as "Every individual has multi-dimensional performance characteristics" and the skill lies in using those to work together.

    So, you think you're super smart?
    Well, you suck at engineering, project management, food prep, comforting they who fall behind.

    Everyone is shit at something, and you are super shit at far more things than you're good at.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

  17. Daily Inspiration: "Find your niche. Be the specialist that others seek" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    When I went out on my own back in 1989, I never presumed that the potential market for my unique way of thinking would be the small geographic radius around me.

    I presumed it was the world.

    Let me take you back to 1987 - I'm reading the New York Times, and BAM! There it is: "Tomorrow's Company Won't Have Walls." It's a prediction about the organization of the future, and it captured my imagination, arguing that specialized, niche knowledge was the way of tomorrow. Looking back, it was a concise overview of today's modern organization - one that is based on access to specialized niche knowledge, wherever it might be.

    The predictive power of this article still resonates with me today. Fast forward through decades of disruption, and that prediction wasn't just right - it was revolutionary!

    Think about it: In a world where organizations are fluid, virtual, and borderless, your expertise can be global, and demand-oriented in reality.  We are now living in what might be called the 'expertise economy' - one that involves absolutely massive hyper-specialization. With knowledge exploding, no one can ever know everything there is to know, and so there are only a few people who know the increasingly narrow niches of knowledge that others need to know.

    That's your niche.
    Be one of those individuals, and your market is the world.

    The fact is, the future is screaming at us, and here's what it's saying: "The era of the generalist is over." In this era of exponential change, the real winners are those who drill deep into their unique expertise zones and own them. In this world that involves a tsunami of information, who rises to the top? The specialists. The niche experts.

    The focused innovators who know exactly where their genius lies and aren't afraid to double down on it.

  23. The more multi-specialist people you have, the more #agility your organization will possess.
    The more mono-specialist people you have, the less agility your organization will possess.

    A great organization can only handle a certain amount of mono-specialization.

    Alpha, or command-and-control organizations are unaware of the problem. They both bring in and breed mono-specialization.
