Von der hinteren Coverseite

Imagine a world where being a jack-of-all-trades is the ultimate power move. We are living in that world right now!

Generalist (noun): An individual who possesses a wide range of interests, knowledge, abilities, and/or experiences (antonyms: specialist, expert, master).

The Generalist Advantage (noun): The unique power of generalists based on their broad skill set and/or diverse domain exposure, enabling them to adapt seamlessly to different roles, innovate across disciplines, and tackle complex challenges.

In an era where AI can efficiently perform various specialized tasks, it’s the generalists who bridge the gap between machines and human ingenuity. The future of work increasingly favors generalists over specialists.

With the help of a 2×2 framework, this book reveals four types of generalists—shallow, domain, skill, and ultra generalists (SDSU)—we often see at work.

Inside the book, you will read more about:

• Near Future Readiness Index (NFRI), helping you match generalist characteristics against the critical competencies needed for the AI revolution.
• Law of Specialist Saturation (LOSS), helping you to avoid hitting the expert brick wall.

What if your greatest strength lies in your breadth, not your depth?
