The basic idea that there are three types of orgs that adapt to the three types of talent distributions (normal, Pareto, bimodal) seems empirically correct to me, though you can argue about nature vs nurture and how learnable the underlying outlier type is. But there’s a couple of subtleties.

great thread, thanks for sharing! This sub-typing of linchpins seems largely right to me. Not the same mapping, but partly why I struggled with articulating the “right hand” sub-type, as it’s clearly a diff type of linchpin from the specialist/savant type, but shares many similar qualities
