Hiring shapeshifters
The business case for generalists (stories + lessons to progress your career)

Hi! Today’s essay is an experiment. It started as an editorial, authored by Ed Lepedus with contributions from Elizabeth Manning and Shern Tee, and well, then I went a bit rogue. I wanted to hear MORE lessons and insider tips. I wanted to understand who the heck these generalists were, and what impact they were generating. So, I put a callout for shapeshifters.
And, they came rolling in.
This essay will be one part education and one part connection; click through to the profiles of people who’ve contributed to get to know the (flippin’ incredible) network of generalist professionals.
There’s so much we can learn from each other.
So lets begin.
