Well that just brought a lot of things into the light for me!

I am not a specialist in anything, and I find all systems and processes interesting. I will often sit in meetings with specialists who get completely wound up in the tiniest issues, and make them into the biggest problems... while completely losing sight of the fact that nobody actually uses the feature/function they are so wound up about.

I've also watched so many of my generalist friends get to senior leadership positions due to their "foxlike" abilities.

This is a book I am definitely going to buy...
