The Meadow of Experts

There are three types of people in organizations: generalists, experts and weirdos. The third person is the honeybee that flies around a meadow of experts. A polymath or what I prefer to call it, technically it's a polymath integrator. In my own field, medicine, you would have a GP who's a generalist and then you'd have a surgeon who's an expert. So all of these systems operate on a two-legged stool, generalists and experts. We've come to think in these terms that in order to solve any problem, no matter what that problem is, probably need the expert.
