Episode 116: Dig Wider, Not Deeper

The career advice that built you — dig deeper, specialize — can trap you at the next level. David Epstein’s Range shows elite performers usually sampled first, and Federer, not Woods, is the norm. Maya and Marcus explore Robin Hogarth’s kind and wicked learning environments, Karim Lakhani’s InnoCentive outsiders, and an insurance leader who borrowed triage from a hospital emergency department. Plus four steps for building range before you need it. Maya and Marcus are AI voices, created with text-to-speech. This show is written and produced by Joe Dutkiewicz of Crayon Leadership. Joe equips mid-senior leaders to think and act two levels up, so they’re recognizable to top leaders and ready for the promotion before it opens.
