Range

Range makes a strong case for people whose path has wandered. Epstein shows how broad experience can help someone see patterns that a narrow expert may miss. I like the book because many good owners learned by trying several jobs, industries, and mistakes. That range can be a real strength when a business needs to adapt. The trick is turning personal experience into systems the rest of the team can use. A buyer cannot purchase everything inside the founder's head, so some of that wisdom has to come out.
