In a world obsessed with specialization, David Epstein’s bestselling book “Range” delivers a refreshing counterargument that might just change how you think about career development, innovation, and problem-solving in your organization.
We’ve all heard the conventional wisdom: start early, focus narrowly, and accumulate those 10,000 hours of deliberate practice.
It’s the Tiger Woods path to success—a golf club in his hands at ten months old, national television appearances at age two, and the rest is history.
Our education systems, hiring practices, and professional development programs have all been designed around this specialization model.
But what if this widely accepted approach is actually holding us back in today’s complex business environment?
What if the most successful innovators, leaders, and problem-solvers in our modern economy follow a drastically different path?
This is the provocative question at the heart of Epstein’s work.
