Experience Vs Expertise

       Profession for each professional consists of some co-ordination, some compromise, some conflicts, little fun and a handful of jealousy. We always try to avoid the behaviour jealousy and re-frame it with a fruitful competitive mind. As far as I know from my small experience I have never seen competition among the entities that belong to the same batch of herd. Moreover I find there is lot of internal conflicts those keep on each day, but in a very cool manner. I may not be able to find the valid reason for the same either due to my less engagement or due to my small experience or due to the lack of my interest on the topic. Anyways it might be the common behaviour in each field of the profession.

      As far as my knowledge What I infer the unavoidable conflict or co-ordination between the experience and expertise plays the most important role in the success of any product that we deliver. The issue of conflict between the two can be within same person or can be between to different persons.

     In the first case if the person having a lot of experience in his pocket looses his eagerness to work always creates circumstances that hampers the product. Also person having small experience and having expertise in a certain area avoids help from experienced guys also creates inconsistency. 

     The lack of coordination of different groups of people , one group having experience and other having expertise without experience have different reasons of its own. From my personal experience the reason includes the following:

  • People from different age groups obviously have communication gap due to various reasons like unwillingness to respect and under estimation of talents of inexperienced by the experienced.
  • If the people having small experience having greater knowledge than the experienced in some areas the jealousy comes in to picture to create friction in the development
  • The Ego factor of the older ones often blocks the way for them to share anything among the newer people.
  • The excitement and eagerness of the inexperienced guys to complete their job before time to impress some other people always hampers quality of the product due to the least time dedication towards work.
  • I will explain an deadlock situation that often happens in every day life. The lack of submissiveness of a certain mistake in either side(experienced and inexperienced) always creates a situation when they get Zero help from the other party. And the product delivery or the job stuck some where else. And third party like managers are strictly needed under the situations. 
  • Deliberate display of limited knowledge sometimes create confusion among the team due to high confidence in the delivery of the words. Confusion unnecessarily spoils the time which could have utilised in fruitful work.
  • Reluctance or hesitation of persons to share their knowledge never help people who could have been more productive.
  • Eagerness of the experienced fellows to relax a lot of time due to their weight in the team does enhanced difficulties for the new comers.                                                                                              

     Most importantly a small but honest appreciation of one person  who is either experienced or in-experienced by the others creates some kind of real motivation among the team. So it does help for smooth   run of the difficult issues. The work environments suddenly becomes beautiful for the professional. I wish that will happen everywhere...
