The expertise trap: when new skills aren’t enough.

Does this sound familiar?

  • I’ve mastered my craft
  • I’ve achieved success at the highest level
  • Rinse and repeat for continued success

Suddenly, you’re in a role and level of responsibility that’s entirely new.

Like a fish out of water, what worked before no longer does.

  • You’re at a point where solo efforts aren’t enough
  • Your perspective is insufficient because you haven’t experienced enough
  • You need to draw on diverse perspectives, different from your own

You think the answer lies in acquiring more:

  • Skills
  • Technical know-how
  • Problem-solving techniques

Yet, the reality demands a shift to become:

  • More comfortable with ambiguity
  • More open to accepting varied perspectives
  • More at ease with not having all the answers
