Very well put. Focus is a double edged sword.

Focus and discipline is very useful when solutions to problems are known.

But put someone extremely methodical in charge of R&D and they will take a zillion years to explore a large search space. Meanwhile a neurotic will run around randomly and stumble upon all kinds of things on the map. The down side with the neurotic mind, is after a prospective gold mine is found and a lot of methodical, disciplined work is required to exploit it they flake out.

Now if you pair them up interesting things unfold.

We are quiet good at identifying people's strengths and weakness. But we spend a lot of time exploiting weakness and squandering strengths of people.

If only the opposite happened more.

With better and growing understanding of how different minds work, I think we will see people compensating for each others weaknesses more.
