MASTER OF NONE - CLIFFORD HUDSON GEBUNDEN

In this revelatory memoir  the former CEO of Sonic challenges established thinking  offering
counterintuitive career advice essential for every professional at all levels  whether you're
just starting out or in the middle of your career.In his bestselling Outliers  Malcolm Gladwell
introduced readers to the 10 000-hour rule-the foundation of success in any endeavor. But as
Clifford Hudson reveals  there are serious pitfalls to this rule. What happens to those who
spend years trying to achieve something that doesn't quite pan out? Do you really have to grind
down the same path for many years  sacrificing priorities to become successful?In Master of
None  Hudson turns expertise on its head and shows that by embracing variety and becoming more
versatile  anyone can succeed and become more open to different opportunities in life. To do so
he provides three basic rules that will see any professional through: Don't plan  exploreDon't
specialize  generalizeDon't keep your head down  turn it up toward opportunity In this
thought-provoking memoir  Hudson asks whether or not mastery is even necessary to succeed. Most
people don't need to be experts in their field. Yes  the successful know more than the average
person about a particular topic  and they often possess a better-than-average ability with a
particular skillset  but not everyone who is successful is an expert  he makes clear.More
importantly  in today's technology-driven environment  change is the only constant  including
the nature of work and the skills required to do it. Over-investing in expertise is often
riskier than learning to be adaptive and open to new knowledge  ideas  and skills. Experience
can also lead to overconfidence. And yet we continue to deeply value the expertise
ideal.Groundbreaking and thought provoking  Master of None is a new way forward to help
businesses and professionals at all levels thrive.
