Leadership and Expertise

• Expertise comes only to the full when they
• optimal conditions are present. Therefore, we

• such conditions. Expertise may in certain
• circumstances, be limited in the sense that it

• the things that are needed. Therefore we need

  expertise, nothing would be done. Quality and
  quantity of work done depends on the
  circumstances, under which the expertise has to
