Intelligence That Works

Generalist vs. Specialist.

Innovator or Manager.

Emotional Intelligence vs. Data Analytics.

Instead of ‘either/or’ in large organizations, management professionals in the most agile firms are hiring people who can develop into entrepreneurial leaders, who have developed a broad set of soft skills. Specialization will get you only so far.
