We think of people either as specialists or generalists.
Does any of these labels fit a multipotential?
DEFINITELY NO.
Wrong labels bring more unhappiness than bad choices.
Multipotentials know it first-hand.
Multipotentials can become specialists in any field they currently focus on.
It is thanks to their:
Thirst to learn
Growth mindset
Drive close to obsession
At the same time, a multipotential's focus can shift to a completely new field, bringing them to the generalist level.
As a result, multipotentials are neither specialists nor generalists because they:
have the depth of a specialist
bring a breadth of several fields
So what is the added value of a multipotential?
It is INTEGRATION.
Depth + Breadth + Adaptability
AI can delve deep into many disciplines but you still need an unprogrammable level of finesses to integrate them.
Steve Jobs said that you have to learn to connect the dots to be successful.
Well, multipotentials - congratulations, you are already a step ahead.
