Expertise: Your First Skill

Christian Bourion

Chapter Chapter 2 in A Management System Exempt from Power, 2006, pp 16-40 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Experts and professionals work along the same particular logic: efficiency is their source of gratification. Efficiency concerns, above all, problem-solving. Depending on their personal resources, experts and professionals may adopt either a conservative or an innovative attitude, but what best nurtures their emotions is security. This approach is opposite to that taken by the project developer, whose work satisfaction consists of taking risks and innovating; including dealing with problems, to which experts and professionals are very hostile. However, only professionals use management methods, whereas experts focus solely on the technical aspects of the problem.
