How to use «All-rounder» in context?

There is no single answer to the question of what makes someone an all-rounder — everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Nevertheless, some qualities that often distinguish all-rounders from specialists are their ability to excel at many different types of activities, their competence in managing different tasks, and their broad knowledge.

An all-rounder typically has a good grasp of basic skills and knowledge in many different areas. They are able to take complete control of a situation, demonstrating initiative and creative solutions, and are not afraid of difficult challenges. They are also able to communicate effectively and work collaboratively alongside others.

I am looking for a positive, passionate word to describe the all-round capabilities of a person.

Are there any words better than ‘all-rounder’?

«Jack of all trades» is a possibility but is not a single word. I would consider this to be a positive description of a person but some may consider it a back-handed compliment due to the expression «Jack of all trades, master of none.»

In the I.T. industry, we have also used «generalist» to describe someone with a wide set of skills (for example: both UI and back-end).

Versatile came to my mind.

EDIT: Dave’s answer reminds me of the word handy, which is listed by several online dictionaries as a synonym of versatile.

For a «positive, passionate word» (phrase) try man of parts:

(idiomatic) A man that is talented in multiple areas of life. This includes but is not limited to the area of seduction. He puts very little emphasis on memorized scripts or «peacocking» and instead relies on individualized ways to charm a woman.

Urbandictionary treats cool dude as a synonym.

Also consider phrases including genius, hero, perfect, expert.

From the synonyms of versatile here are some suggestions:

  • all-purpose, all-around, many-sided, varied

From the synonyms of all-around there are also

  • broad, overall, sweeping, wide

Note: this is not an attempt at an exhaustive list of phrases, rather a pointer in the direction of the sources.

There are a lot of great answers already, but depending on the tone of your writing and your audience, you could say:

He was a MacGyver type

(based on the resourceful character on a still relatively well-known late-80’s TV series)
