"An expert has knowledge and information. A trusted authority has influence and power"- from a video by authorityformula.com
I love this quote. Most people confuse these. As the video points out the trusted authority is where one needs to be. Companies have many experts but usually one single authority on a subject.
So what can one do to become a trusted authority? Well you must have knowledge and information. Therefore you are an expert. However, in my opinion the transition to authority is one that is purely political.
Without support from people above and a lot of schmoozing (insert your own word here) one can not be recognized by other. Thus it takes a plan to over time develop yourself into the authority.
Yes there are examples where this could be done fairly quickly BUT usually it takes a lot of time.
Today's question is:
Do you have a plan on how will you transition to trusted authority from your expert level?
