Lech calls himself a "cultural square peg". What is that? I mean literally, it's that he doesn't fit into the typical "mold" in traditional organizational practices that pigeon-hole people. Lech is a generalist. Guess what? So is your host, Chava. This fun conversation will go in a few different directions, but if you can stay with us, we hope you'll walk away with at least one or two key take aways.
The term "generalist" hasn't yet been fully embraced. But it isn't a dirty word and it isn't a bad thing either. In fact, in this episode, we make a case for celebrating generalists because we need them. We need both specialists and generalists in our world for true progress.
But generalists are a little hard to "pin down" and understand. Many don't know what to do with them. They don't "fit" into specialist roles and their expertise spans multiple disciplines and sometimes, multiple industries and more, which may or may not on the surface "make sense". But there is immense power in being a generalist and if you are a generalist you can tap into that power to find success. Generalists bring immense value to any table they sit at and we're hoping that this conversation might inspire someone... even just a little bit.
