The work world absolutely LOVES specialists.  After all, most organizations were created by specialists. Another name for a specialist is a Monomath.

Monomaths are a lot like this lacewing larvae that has collected shells to protect itself from predators. Monomaths collect single categories of information

A specialist knows a lot of things about a single discipline or practice. And they know this to the exclusion of other things.  They devote their lives to collecting information that fits neatly into one category alone and operating in that manner in all facets of their lives.
