What Specifically Do Generalists Do?
- Generalists have the advantage of interdisciplinary knowledge, which fosters creativity and a firmer understanding of how the world works. They have a better overall perspective and can generally perform second-order thinking in a wider range of situations than the specialist can.
from The Generalized Specialist: How Shakespeare, Da Vinci, and Kepler Excelled by Shane Parrish

- In other words, lots of people see themselves as generalists, whether they use the word or not, and lots of people realize the value of these interstitial roles but not many brag about it, and not many hire for it.
