I’m going to give a bit more thought to my answer before sharing. My immediate instinct is breadth over depth, but then I go back to both my own training and personality. In law school we were trained how to think, to learn, to spot issues that needed to be solved, and to set aside those that couldn’t be or didn’t need to be addressed. I value breadth, _for myself_, and surround myself with those who have either breadth or depth depending on need. And working to assemble grant teams for diverse government programs and organizations gave me an appreciation of both, too. I love to learn, occasionally to learn deeply, but just as often to learn sufficiently deeply to know when I need someone with depth. Putting together the big picture with a liberal arts and law background, after serving as a technician with deep knowledge of electronic and computer systems connected to mechanical systems might also have influenced my perspective having been stationed somewhere we had to problem solve broadly.
What a good topic of discussion! Back later with more.
