Generalization

The more specialized you are, the more expensive your change will be.

The more specialized you are, the more expensive your change will be.

When we seek integrity, change will necessarily mean doing better work for more people. Intuitively, it sounds like a net-positive shift, not something the world would resist.

But no one likes their cheese moved, and more often than not, it is inconvenient for someone to adapt their view of you, even if it is in their interest.

It is a cost that most people will resist, especially if they’re not interested in themselves.

So that leaves the changed person, looking to move with the time and the world, with a cost-benefit analysis.

Should they change risk professional nomadism? It is a material risk to livelihood, especially when working on a tight skill-based network.
