A lo largo de mi carrera he valorado muy positivamente a los expertos reconocidos por dos cosas: 1. Lógicamente por aquello de lo que saben y los valores que demuestran a lo largo del tiempo. Por ejemplo valoro enormemente la multitud de casos prácticos a sus espaldas, reflexiones de alto interés sobre el futuro, clara orientación de enseñanza hacia los demás y preocupación por el desarrollo de las personas a su alrededor. 2. Pero también tengo una muy alta valoración hacia la humildad y transparencia a la hora de consultar a los demás en aquellos aspectos en los que no son especialistas. No he visto nada más sano que un experto que tenga la mentalidad de aprender todo lo posible de alguien con menos experiencia siempre que se requiera.
