> There aren’t a lack of generalists, organizations are just blind to their existence and have no understanding of how to use them.
A generalist is a threat to the organization as a concept.
Organizations rely on power and information flowing in well defined ways. Information flows up, control flows down. A generalist might disrupt that by passing information and instructions sideways. Which is why, no matter how often leaders go on about cross team working and matrix organizations, things tend to revert to micromanagement every time.
