Episode 009 Introduction to new Series | Expert Generalist: Cross-Context Conversations

What if the best leadership insight you will ever encounter does not come from your industry? In this episode, I introduce a new series built on a concept that changed how I think about leadership development: the Expert Generalist.

The term comes from Orit Gadiesh of Bain and Company. Expert Generalists do not just go deep. They go wide. Most leaders learn from their industry. Expert Generalists learn from everywhere. That is the difference, and it is a significant one.

In Expert Generalist: Cross-Context Conversations, I sit down with leaders from unexpected contexts, outdoor wilderness, student ministry, commercial fleet operations, to pull out principles that apply everywhere. This episode is the origin story: where the concept came from, why it matters, and what you can expect from the series.
