Specialists and generalists

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management Mumbo-Jumbo, 2006, pp 134-136 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The tea-boy to managing director story may once have been possible. But the route to the top now always begins with having specialist knowledge and skills while learning how the business works. Over time one acquires broader perspectives, people skills and the “vision thing”. Well, some do.
