I have been thinking about expertise today.
So I used to do stuff that I wasn't expert in and as a group of guys we muddled along, worked things out, learned from each other and came to good ways of doings things.
Then I became an expert. Instead of working in a team I lead the team. Instead of muddling things out I did Best Pratice consultancy. Instead of learning from people I taught people. Instead of working things out together I advise on the best solution and take responsibility.
But the second stage only works because you have done the first stage.
Anyone see what I am getting at?
