===== Be T-Shaped: Deep in One, Curious in Many =====

**Vertical depth   horizontal breadth = expertise   innovation.**

Key Principle: Be deep in your core competency, curious in everything.

T-Shaped Model:
    * Vertical bar: Your deep specialty
    * Horizontal bar: Breadth of curiosity
The intersection is where innovation happens.

**Where it applies:** Skill development, role specialization

**Why it works:** Specialization enables mastery; curiosity enables transfer

**Risks:** Too shallow = no value; too deep = brittleness; imbalance limits growth
