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.

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?

Some thoughts on success

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.
