I agree with your CEO: play to your strengths especially when you are young or starting your career.
Scott Adams has an interesting idea about stacking abilities. He is above average at a few things but together he was able to create Dilbert. I think stacking is a good idea but doesn’t apply to most people.
I had actually not written down that the Charlie Munger quote was from Munger, and thought at first it must be Scott Adams, for the reasons you say. I do think there's something to that idea, though I'm curious why you don't think it applies to most people?

Scott Adams was fortunate he was an above average cartoonist. His situation is unique.
I think it’s hard to stack different talents because most people don’t have talents that can be stacked for a single endeavor imo
I’m speculating. If I am wrong please tell me.
