Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between an expert and a leader. Experts are skilled and knowledgeable in a specific field, and they excel in operating within the existing frameworks and knowledge. On the other hand, leaders are responsible for going beyond the established norms and standards, pushing boundaries, and challenging the status quo. They have the ability to envision and initiate change, offering new perspectives and directions. While experts focus on mastering the familiar, leaders take on the responsibility of pushing the boundaries and leading others towards new and unexplored territories.
