Why Mediocrity is Your Gateway to Greatness
Just okay at a bunch of things? It’s your time.
The currency of skills has shifted.
Gone are the days of singular mastery — now it’s about leveraging your random interests, those side projects, and growth hacks to build.
Remember T-shaped skills It was a popular workforce development framework from a few years ago.
This is the idea that you specialize in one skill and then become a generalist in a whole bunch of areas.
It looks like this:
For example: if you’re good at analytics, but know a little bit about software development you’d be a good candidate for data science.
But now you need a box of skills. Or a Swiss Army knife of abilities.
That’s what the AI economy demands, that you harness a multitude of abilities as the cornerstone to your innovation.
You’re now in world where mediocrity is the gateway to greatness.
Congrats.
