Totally agree with what Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of C++, said "Don't overspecialize" and I would apply it to everything. The world change, and you never know when that thing is going to get obsolete or vanish. And I think you can apply this to many things from relationships to skills.

I recommend to exclude the flawed term and the overly vague term from your vocabulary!

The more multi-specialist people you have, the more your organization will possess.
The more mono-specialist people you have, the less agility your organization will possess.

A great organization can only handle a certain amount of mono-specialization.

Alpha, or command-and-control organizations are unaware of the problem. They both bring in and breed mono-specialization.

According to "Sixth Extinction" there's an entire class of called "obligate ant followers." They follow around and eat the other the ants flush out.

I often hear some pretty reactionary stuff from fellow anarchists, always couched as being anti-capitalist but actually a toehold of the an-prim wing of fascism.

The worst of them is: "specialization is capitalist and therefore bad".

Specialization is better known as "knowledge and expertise". Blind rejection of specialization is blind rejection of people who have more experience than you do.
