How V-shaped are you and your people? And how will you let them grow as V-shaped employees? “People often talk about the need for “T-shaped” employees. While the concept is valuable, it is time for a new type: the “V-shaped” employee.” - Jeroen Kraaijenbrink Jeroen recently sent me an advanced copy of his new book “The One Hour Strategy”. What I especially appreciated were the powerful questions he integrated into the book to consider an organizations current approach to strategy, as well as consider how an organization could be more future focused, in its approach to strategy. It is book structured in a clear concise and compelling way so that a busy business leader can easily absorb and apply the ideas in an organization. ***Link in the comments below to learn more about Jeroen Kraaijenbrink new book NOTE: What follows is a repost of an original post by Jeroen Kraaijenbrink who I highly recommend following here on LinkedIn - Jeroen daily posts cut through the noise and articulate ideas you can apply to solve common organizational challenges Introduced in the early 1980s, the concept of the T-shaped employee stands for someone who is both specialist and generalist at the same time. They have deep knowledge in one area (the vertical bar of the T) and shallow knowledge about a broad range of other areas (the horizontal bar). The first is needed to do one’s own work, the second to collaborate and communicate with others. 👉🏿While it sounds intuitive and contributes to multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work, there is an even better type, which I’d like to call the V-shaped employee. 👉🏿Like the T-shaped employee, a V-shaped employee has deep knowledge in one area. And along the same line, they also have shallow knowledge about a broad range of other domains. 👉🏿The key difference is the part in between. What is needed to effectively work in organizations today, I believe, is “adjacent knowledge,” knowledge that is related to the employee’s core expertise. It is not deep, nor shallow, but in between—hence the V-shape. 👉🏿Being a specialist is great, but both from an individual’s career perspective and from an organizational perspective, we need people who are versatile and agile. Who can do more than just their primary job. Who can switch roles and grow. This requires them to have adjacent expertise in areas close to their core area. 👉🏿This adjacent knowledge is expertise that is not as deep as their core knowledge, but also not as shallow to simply enable collaboration. It is medium-deep, medium-broad, enabling them to be versatile and agile.
