Beware the Tyranny of Your Expertise

Today's lesson:Beware the Tyranny of Your ExpertiseKey Points:Expertise is a double edged sword. On one side, it’s knowledge, it's useful, and it’s leverage. On the other side, you can become insulated and you can lose touch with context. "The danger of the expert is that he often becomes a prisoner of his own expertise." -Peter Drucker. There is no field of knowledge that is static or complete. Nothing is in a state of true equilibrium, so if you don’t move with the unfolding of knowledge in your field of expertise, you become increasingly obsolete and irrelevant. Today's key action:Next time you feel like you’re 100% confident in the answer, assume you’re missing something.
