So, in this video, I will answer the question 'What are T Shaped People?'

People with niche skills - depth in one topic only, and little else by way of skills, are like a verticle line: deep and narrow.

Others have a broad range of skills, but no great depth of knowledge or experience in any of them.

But T Shaped People have both depth and breadth.

Philip Tetlock adopted the metaphor of the Hedgehog and Fox.
“The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.”

But T Shaped people have the best of both worlds.

And then there is a T Shaped Team...
==============================
- Combining T Shaped People adds depth across a broader range – and even greater breadth.
- In turn, this makes teams more self-sufficient and better able to act autonomously within the overall goal, objectives, and plan.
- You'll have less reliance on a single person who knows about everything – if most people do
- Also, larger, self-organizing teams can lead to less silo-ing.
- And finally, you'll get less key person risk – non-experts have enough base knowledge to help out at pressure points.
