You are the Expert

Eighty Seconds of Development

What happens at work when you are challenged? When someone asks you questions about your work, do you feel slighted? Do you become angry and annoyed? Or do you explain the situation in depth? I am guilty of asking for expansion on situations, but it is not due to a lack of trust or competency questioning. I am looking for an expert to explain the outcome.

I do not have a background in sports medicine, psychology, nutrition, or many other areas in athletics. But I do like to learn, just like others. So when a leader asks why or what in a certain scenario, know they are not the expert. You are. They ask that you please expound on an instance where they are a novice. So don't get annoyed; know that as the expert, you must provide a layer of explanation that sometimes requires layperson's terms to help others understand.
