#contribution #specialty #effectiveness By itself, a specialty is fragile and sterile. Its output has to be put together with the output of other specialists before it can produce results. This means that he must think through who is to use his output and what the user needs to know and to understand to be able to make productive use of the fragment the specialist produces. The only meaningful definition of a generalist is a specialist who can relate his own small area to the universe of knowledge. The man who takes responsibility for his contribution will relate his narrow area to a genuine whole.
