Really glad to read this, while it's not strictly 'revolutionary' thought, having it formulated and expressed on paper does boost my own confidence in the way I aproach self-growth, as someone who aspires to be this type of 'generalist' as well.
Thank You for the article!

- spacebacon 3y agoConfidence is the key here. No one is going to say you are smart, here are the keys to my castle. The keys to the castle are often guarded with trial by combat. To thrive in a culture of open engagement is to regulate emotion that can undermine your arguments. If you can weather the onslaught of attack from being the “salient” (think military definition) force of innovation within your organization you may find yourself creating a legacy you never knew was even possible. A salient is fractal in nature, it creates opportunity at the cost of exposure. If a salient puncture into unknown territory is successful it was worth the risk. If funding, interest, or supply chain is cut off then the innovation is a complete loss. In a culture of innovation with too many salient advances all is lost. In a strategic innovation there is a calculated loss or an exponential gain.
