Forget about T-shaped people. We need X-shaped people.Â
In 2010, Tim Brown, the co-founder of IDEO, proposed the idea of a T-shaped person: someone with both depth and breadth of skills. What makes a T-shaped person special is empathy. But our world of ever-increasing complexity calls for people who bring more than empathy and more than knowledge. In this thought-provoking talk, David Clifford offers a new model to build embodied, purposeful, self-aware, ethical, creative people. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
