Have you heard of the figure of speech, "Jack of all trades, master of none?" Being a specialist in everything is when one tries to do too many things or be everything he thinks he can be but then spreads himself too thin at the end of the day. In this episode, John Laurito shares a few stories that remind him of leaders who try to do everything in their organization. The problem with this is that when you focus on too many things, it waters down your effectiveness on that one thing you're supposed to be an expert at.
