but i thot the saying goes... "jack of all trades, master of none"
...
anyways if my assumption is correct, i feel tht a jack of all trades may also be a master of integration, as the individual knows enough from many learned trades nd skills to be able to bring their disciplines together in a practical manner, BUT is not a specialist. such a person is known as a polymath or a renaissance man... a typical example being leonardo da vinci.
...
following author's version of the saying >>> my vote goes for "jack of all trades"

Context please?

If its about professional thingy , I would go with Jack of all but master of one/two may be.

You got to have something unique to kind of survive and be master of everything that comes your way to flourish.

I was discussing randomly with my friends when one of them stated that modern day companies have too much money and they hire the best guys to do even the menial work and i kind of agree! I see PHDs doing petty coding work and for work which a couple of years experienced engineering graduate can easily do , they will hire someone who has a Masters or 15 + eyars experience and still they succeed in producing the most crappier of solutions.
I personally feel my creativity and knowledge has infact gone down while two years on job , but I have gained a lot on communication skills , managing expectations , talking crap , giving lectures on vision ( which does not exist :p :D ) and doing a lot of blah blah.

personnally I wish I could be jack of all trades... that satisfies me a lot (as it includes learning new things in entirely diffrent area everytime).
But to survive professionally, USP is much more needed. So master of at least one is a need :)

The context is our professional life.

When I am a jack of all trades, my growth prospects are limited/delayed as I would need to compete with master(s) in each trade.

When I become a master of one/two, soon my HR asks me to train my back-up, somebody to take my place when I move up the next rung. My back up arrives promptly, and training starts immediately....however, I am still waiting for a sucker higher up the foodchain, who's hungry for growth, and who can be conned into believeing that taking a backup is part of his profile and opportunity for growth.

The point is, a rolling stone never gathers moss, but then no one would allow me to grow roots and become stronger either. Do the members agree?

Let me try ( and its also true for all Indians )
1)
Al Barouni, the famous Arabic logician and traveler of the 10th century, who spent about 30 years in India from 997 AD to around 1027 AD. According to him, during his visit, most Indian pundits considered it below their dignity even to hold arguments with him. In fact, on a few occasions when a pundit was willing to listen to him, and found his arguments to be very sound, he invariably asked Barouni: which Indian pundit taught these smart things!

2) Indians done a very good job in IT and recognized by the whole world. Many times I have seen Indians are ready to accept any kind of job whether they know it or not. And not only they accept the job but do it in perfect manner.

3)
Here on JL most of the people are ready to express their opinions in each and every thread whereas topics discussed here on varied subjects.

If that will be in the option i surely would choose that one.

But now i will be glad to become like Sachin in cricket as Master or Vishvanathan in Chess or Tigerwoods in Golf and so on. Being a master is always great in addition u can have some other skills not as a master but with little knowledge but on any day i would like to be master of 1 trade rather than jack of all.

As per me if you are a jack of all trades, you are a master of none.


“The master of a single trade can support a family. The master of seven trades cannot support himself. The wind is never for the sailor who knows not to what port he is bound.”



I always like this quote and prefer to be the Master of One.

Being jack of all trades and being master of one are the characteristics depending upon the level of perfection one sets for one self and in terms of today's increasing globalization it's must to keep oneself abreast with things going on in every area but yes one can streamline oneself to one area of specialization where one can really become an erudite.

Once we know little about everything and too much abt something we are a scholar and that is exactly something more conspicious that marks our identity and makes us recognizable by people on a large scale!!!

the jack of all trades maximizes an individual’s peak experiences in life nd he learns to enjoy the pursuit of excellence unrelated to material gain, all while finding the few things he is truly uniquely suited to dominate. it’s more fun, in the most serious existential sense.

on the contrary…

any path that narrows future possibilities may become a lethal trap. humans are not threading their way through a maze… they scan a vast horizon filled with unique opportunities. the narrowing viewpoint of the maze should appeal only to creatures with their noses buried in the sand <<< this goes for those who want to be master of one… guess cannot explain myself more in bare minimal words. i would like all those self-proclaimed “masters” to list at least one trade/discipline where they really consider themselves to be masters.

in a world of dogmatic specialists, it’s the >>> generalist <<< who ends up running the show… this is a FACT, not an assumption.

Sir g i think Anjoo g asked our view it doesn't mean that people who are in favour of Master of one in real life they r masters i think:rolleyes:. And even i wonder if there is anyone who is jack of all trades?
But i have pointed out whom we can consider as masters of 1 trade and i like to be them thats my wish only. Like Tendulkar, Tigerwoods, Aryabhat and so on.

Sorry for sounding rude on this , but my answer to all of the above is :


SO ?

What I mean is that it still does not prove anything to me. I think it would be person speicific to if he is master of all or none or etc , generalising is too difficult. :)

I would agree with you that the sharpness and the work ethics of Indians make them preferable to any manager in some jobs ( IT , quant etc ).

anilsinghd
November 4th, 2009, 04:02 PM
The context is our professional life.



Kind of knew that , still wanted to calrify.

Well let me put some real life examples for the discussion to progress.

I choose 3 persons from the organisation I am working in. A , B , C.

Profiles:
A is 16 years on job , jack of all and master of most(infact all) , really admired everywhere in the firm , he is an SVP. From top down , he reports to an EVP who reports to Tech Head(MD).

B is an SVP , 11 years on job , master of 1-2 , does not involve himself in anything else. He reports directly to Tech Head.

C is 9 years on job , jack of all , master of none, very good at coordinating , finding people who can do the job for him. He is an EVP andd reports to Tech Head.

In terms of position: C > B > A
In terms of work/knowledge : A > B > C.

and to substantiate what Brahm said , it is the "generalist" C which runs the show! :)

Probably that gives you some hints on what do you need to do ? :)

November 4th, 2009, 04:02 PM

I don't see any rudeness in your answer. And we can not generalize things because each and everyone is different from others. When two real brothers are not same how can we say something for everybody. But still I have feeling ( may be again fail to convince) people here in India know ( or just pretend) tooo much about everything and very reluctant to listen other's opinions - Masters of all trades why to listen ( My personal feeling ) .

Hello Anju,

May I ask how does the answer to the question (Jack of all Trades vs. Master of One) help you deal with the actual issue at hand i.e., quoted above ? I see a mismatch here.

Perhaps a more appropriate question would be:
What is it that will allow me to grow roots and become stronger in an organization?

Asking the right question is important to finding the right answer.

Cheers and all the best to you!

"What is it that will allow me to grow roots and become stronger in an organization- be a jack of all trades or a master of one?"

I guess one goes from being 'jack-of-all-trades' to being an 'expert'[ Master as a word exist in degrees only because its relative] in growing. First stage helps in learning and second one helps in strengthening your roots. First stage throws ideas/thoughts/insights/ about one's 'Naturaly gifted capablity'. From generalisation to differentiation. Its inside out. I excluded the 'genius'.

Actually there is nobody in the world who is a jack of all trades, It is an expression often used but there isn't a human being in this world capable of knowing something about everything so your question becomes kind of redundant. It is more a figure of speech and that's it.

ram-ram everybody

i think it totally depends on a person's nature whether s/he want to become jack of all trades or master of one........some people find it interesting to explore new things, whereas other want to know everything about a single "entity or object" it is also situation specific that which one is better....
take the example of IAS exam .....only those persons clear the exams who have a thorough knowledge of all their subjects , they cannot clear the exam by mastering only one subject......on the other hand to prepare for their exams they need a person or tutor who is master of that subject........
so we cannot compare which one is better.......it is my personal interest which make one better than the other and for me only , not for .others......

and for me, being master of one is better than jack of all.

If question was - Do you want to glue to one thing or want to try out many different things?

I am pretty sure, all would have said - I am going to try this that and whatever. ;)
Everybody is doing things more than one ... :)

As someone said in previous reply - What is the context?

Are we talking about having different professions?
Who wants to have many different professions at same time? (Some do, I know)

If it's about my profession, so sure I want to be master of one to secure
my job and jack of whatever comes in way - it makes me competitive.

In your firm, 99% times you're just stuck with one thingy [may be one or two more :)] Even though you're not master ;)
As an example: Is someone doing HR job and Engineering job at same time? I don’t think so.
Are you managing many projects and also doing programming in many different languages as time allows?
If yes then is it called jack of all trades? I don’t think so.

And how many are here who changed their profession or willing to? Not many.
If yes, then be prepared to be jack of trades those are required in that profession (probably to start)
and try to master same (sure to survive).

--------

Other then job/profession

I want to do many different things (have a long list).
And whatever I do, I try to master 'em.
(Relatively) - Enough to make me competitive and that satisfy my self.

So try different things [friendly advice - don't apply it to everything ;) :) hahaha],
it keeps your brain active, and do it as long as you are not satisfied with your performance.
Though, as you move forward you will find someone who knows something more than you.

-------

Someone has said in above replies: Keep discussing, it doesn’t matter. :)

Appreciate your comment and guidance, thank you.

I just presented one of many scenarios while explaining the context to carry the discussion forward.

Taking cue from your post, please allow me to rephrase-
"What is it that will allow me to grow roots and become stronger in an organization- be a jack of all trades or a master of one?"

With reference to ur highlighted quote…the most successful professionals whom do we see on top ladder share some common traits….

Aggression or more precisely assertiveness….how confident & impressive you are while sending your message across when you speak…some persons have authoritative voice…..Mel Gibson, Jack Nicholson, Morgan freeman….who made ppl to listen them… that’s where ur superior will notice your potential.

Organizational capabilities……are you able to organize a team of ppl with a vision to take process forward…..can motivate them…isn’t these leadership quality….now how do we find whether we are leader or not….its born trait…right from school & college…some ppl have great urge to lead…they like to give command rather than being directed…whether they are in school or political affair…so same in organization too…these some ppls lead whole bunch of laid backs…… you will find many who just spent substantial amount of time on one designation only without the urge of advancement of their career…the only thing they can think of putting paper and switch to others firm at little higher compensation without taking more responsibility.

I see so many ppl …who just afraid of taking more responsibilities…afraid to face challenges since they are so get used of comfort level…now when management has to choose one person among so many…how will they select right candidate….they are likely to select a person who stands out from crowd….who is master of one bt jack of all trades…. My VP who is a CA is master in his own accounting word…bt what made him successful is his diverse knowledge of finance & banking…he understand technology…has tremendous organizational & interpersonal skills….

Now some possible test of one’s own capabilities…..takes some hypothetical situation….


There is an event organized where your process needs to be presented in front of large audience….consisting top management…your manager says to the team….who will take up this responsibility to present…on hearing this everybody looks at each other’s face….heart beat is well above the average.. some may be praying don’t look at me sir.… plz…
And very few were waiting for this opportunity to come to their lap and they say yes I will do it….how proactive you are in solving a problem…or discounting an opportunity in your favor…luck is when your preparation along with capabilities meets with opportunity….

One team of foreign delegate is coming…who will take the charge of their stay…their timely completion of schedules etc etc…that taste ur organizational skills…
The main difference between a leader & a manager is.. leader set an example to motivate their team to take them to the right path….and manager just control the activities….

On an average for every 10 to 15 persons one leader is being chosen depending on the headcounts…everybody cant be a leader…..ppl who crystal clear about their potential eventually become successful in their own domain and keep growing without anyone’s advise….

I find the “fearlessness” the utmost virtue one can ever possess…did you hear this word “I am fearless”… how dangerous or progressive one can be with this trait by utilizing it at right direction.

By having just expert knowledge one can only become an accountant or programmer….not the CEO….i am sure the person who takes a call of reconstruction or merger or any organizational change is master of one bt jack of all trades… after all a good ear, a good mouth and a good heart is what that makes the difference… did i forget good brain :)

i feel tht a jack of all trades may also be a master of integration, as the individual knows enough from many learned trades nd skills to be able to bring their disciplines together in a practical manner, BUT is not a specialist. such a person is known as a polymath or a renaissance man... a typical example being leonardo da vinci.the jack of all trades maximizes an individual’s peak experiences in life nd he learns to enjoy the pursuit of excellence unrelated to material gain, all while finding the few things he is truly uniquely suited to dominate. it’s more fun, in the most serious existential sense.

on the contrary…

any path that narrows future possibilities may become a lethal trap. humans are not threading their way through a maze… they scan a vast horizon filled with unique opportunities. the narrowing viewpoint of the maze should appeal only to creatures with their noses buried in the sand.

in a world of dogmatic specialists, it’s the >>> generalist <<< who ends up running the show… this is a FACT, not an assumption.

i don’t understand why sid nd few others have ridiculed the topic to such an extent, may be because of lack of elaboration frm the author... i dont know???

anyways, to me it definitely makes sense, cos i personally feel tht i’m one such person who would like to be described as being “a jack of all”. let me try (if i can) to explain myself a bit further of what i left in my previous posts (quoted above).

the dusty adage "jack of all trades” to me can be best defined as... "a person who can do many different types of work but who is not necessarily very competent at any of them, so we work to be a master… tht sums up our basic evaluation system. our job performance is based on meeting or exceeding the expertise outlined for our role.

… to elaborate a bit further, nd as said earlier - a person who is “jack of all trades” is a renaissance man or woman, a polymath… these are persons who are not afraid to tackle any problem. they will jump right in nd fix the car instead of taking it to the shop, or repair the broken water heater or an electric iron (for example) on their own. they can do/fix anything, do plumbing, do electrical work, work on cars, remodel the house, cook etc etc. there is nothing tht they would not do… instead they would do it pretty well. they may or may not hv a special training, instead they just do what is needed to be done nd learn to become good at everything because they worked at it. it may not be perfect but it is being self sufficient tht can give an individual a sense of pride nd satisfaction. tht simply means they try to be self sufficient nd do as much as they can for themselves nd as best as they can.

ever heard of a word called ‘जुगाड़’ or ‘जुगाडू ’. A job well done in indian pretext is better called as… फिट जुगाड़ कर दिया. if it works well you are indeed a satisfied soul.

on the contrary, master of one = a specialist, a person of one trade, who is limited by only what he knows best. he is confined by what he has chosen.

A renaissance? How come? I don't think being Jack of All Trades is a requirement for renaissance.madam,

at the very outset, please be apprised that your above sentence is absurd and is meaningless. now, since you seem to be a bit confused/crossed between the terminology, pls allow me to sort out the confusion... btw when did i say tht being jack of all trades is a requirement of renaissance ???... anyway, forget abt tht, because the explanation that follows will sort out the issue.

having said tht nd before i proceed any further, please get few definitions right.

1. renaissance
2. renaissance men


1. The Renaissance (French for "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento; Spanish: Renacimiento), was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th through the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe and now at JATland. It encompassed the revival of learning based on classical sources, the rise of courtly and papal patronage, the development of perspective in painting, and advancements in science. The Renaissance had wide-ranging consequences in all intellectual pursuits, but is perhaps best known for its artistic aspect and the contributions of such (pls have a grip here >>>) polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who have inspired the term "Renaissance Men".

2. Renaissance men: A Polymath (Greek polymathēs, πολυμαθής, "having learned much") is a person, with superior intelligence, whose expertise spans a significant number of subject areas. In less formal terms, a polymath (or polymathic person) may simply refer to someone who is very knowledgeable. Most ancient scientists were polymaths by today's standards. A different name for the secondary meaning of polymath is "Renaissance Man" (a term first recorded in written English in the early 20th century). Other similar terms also in use are Homo universalis and Uomo Universale, which in Latin and Italian, respectively, translate as "universal person" or "universal man".you can use the following links to explore more on renaissance men...

explanation:
i thot tht i'm done after my abv remarks in red nd after giving you the links. it was expected tht after getting the definitions right, you shud have proceeded to the links for further information, esp. on renaissance men, wch i've equated with 'jack of all trades' in my earlier posts. but, it seems tht you've ignored my p.s. nd didn't concentrated on the text provided in wiki links (<<< no pun intended, pls take it easy)... anyways, you just justified the evolution of woman, in my previous pic attachment... 2009 A.D or 2050 A.D not much difference.

True, survival contradicts master.
But don't u think, "survival" word is apt in context of evolution?

It certainly do.

But i think survival was a thinking of past. Evolution is a process, and survival may be first priority but then revolution came.

madam,
now tht you have patted the definitions, d'u still want me to proceed?... ok, since you are so anxious, i've a humble request before i proceed - please bear with me nd dont feel offended after the explanation tht follows...

explanation:
i thot tht i'm done after my abv remarks in red nd after giving you the links. it was expected tht after getting the definitions right, you shud have proceeded to the links for further information, esp. on renaissance men, wch i've equated with 'jack of all trades' in my earlier posts. but, it seems tht you've ignored my p.s. nd didn't concentrated on the text provided in wiki links (<<< no pun intended, pls take it easy)... anyways, you just justified the evolution of woman, in my previous pic attachment... 2009 A.D or 2050 A.D not much difference.

@anju post # 103 : woman didn't evolved !!! you see the repercussions now, no-one can defy the laws of evolution.

p.s. : apologies in advance, if you still feel offended... honestly i didn't wanted to put this post.


When you ASSUME, you try to make an ASS of U and ME. I know my position in the animal kingdom (i.e., human). You just identified yours!

p.s: no pun should be "assumed".

Whoops! My apologies for having completely missed noticing your lil’ pun in my earlier response… (must be having my usual ‘duh’ moments!... you see superevil business in Metropolis really tires me out and the brain all fuzzy on days!:o) In any case- so involved was I with the discussion here I could have sworn you were simply talking about the ‘Neanderthal’ man in that cartoon I had posted and maybe enquiring about a missing ‘super’ cave-woman in there….

BUT a friend just pointed out my silly goof up!!!

Okay Yup,… you bet - no Lois Lane in the picture; and one can thank their stars for that …this pic (which by the way is an old picture that has the infamy of having featured on my Jatland profile before!) has had it share of stories… one can only shudder and imagine what a Lois Lane too in there would have prompted! :rolleyes:

[FYI some also widely suspect I am wearing a dhoti under that Tee (and the indomitable Navin Gulia even drew a ‘rare’ cartoon of me that way)… fueling ripe reports about my apparent reluctance towards trying and fly around too much on this portal; I agree - that whole dhoti-thingy and supersonic speed flying… uh-huh! :eek:]

ps. But hey uh, Urmila…. umm, listen….look, now you know the secret (about who superman really is, right?)…you know…:cool:.... so, uh…. try and keep it under wraps, will ya?

iskool ??? mai to Nand lal Daya Ram ji(in short ND Guides ) ka dhanyawaad karna chaunga jinhone 500-500 page ki kitabo ko chota karke 50 page ki 'key' (kunji) banayi na tai mhare jisse gaam mai kheti kar rhe hote.

i saved so many trees and i m proud of it. I tried not to buy books nd never wasted any paper for doing classwork or homework or making notes nd all that crap.

ND Guide/key/kunji recycled paper se banayi jati hai aur bahut hi kam page hote hai.

meeloo tu padh tai li environment ki tanne issi tissi kar di
