There are two types of thinking.First, ordered Thinking. In which you try to solve problem by following detailed and procedural logic. Example : Mathematics or puzzle.Second, lateral thinking. This type of thinking requires you to not follow step by step logical reasoning. But by taking leap & non-linear reasoning to arrive at the conclusion

Ordered Thinking Vs Lateral Thinking

There are two kind of people in this world.First is a generalist, who knows different & many things but not in depth.And the second one is a specialist, who excels in particular field of knowledge in depth. But not adequate in any other field besides it.

Generalist Vs Spesialist

Generalist and Spesialist doesn't always contradict each other.Rather, the world need both of them to make innovation and progress in different fields of study

We may see a people who found their so called passion at early age and focusing on that specific field by constant training. Example : Tiger Woods became a world class athlete by focusing training golf since his childhoodBut not all people will follow this step. There will be a someone who is going to change passion & focus in their course of life. Example : Roger Federer is changing his interest from football, tennis, basketball, until he finally find his passion in tennis at his late adulthood.Both of this are normal case.

Work & Life

Ordered environment is an environment with a stable, repetitive, and controlled situation in which we can predict what could be happen inside it. Specialist people tend to have a benefit from this kind of environment. Example : Chess game & computer programmingWicked Environment is an environment with a chaotic, unstable, and unpredictable outcome. Specialization tend to perform bad in this environment and the generalist have an advantage in this kind of environment. Example : Stock Market & Political Science

Ordered Vs Wicked Environment

If you working on a team project. Make sure you don't have a same kind of specialized people on your team.Rather, you want to assemble your team from different backgrounds and field of study.This type of team will perform better on their task, because the versatility & perspective is a lot more variative

The #1 New York Times bestseller that has all America talking: as seen/heard on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, Morning Joe, CBS This Morning, The Bill Simmons Podcast, Rich Roll, and more. "Fascinating. . . . If you're a generalist who has ever felt overshadowed by your specialist colleagues, this book is for you." --Bill Gates "The most important business--and parenting--book of the year." --Forbes "Urgent and important. . . an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance." --Daniel H. Pink Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world's top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule. David Epstein examined the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields--especially those that are complex and unpredictable--generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They're also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can't see. Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.
