How Do You Define Expert?

by Andy Brudtkuhl on January 29, 2009

One of the reasons I absolutely love blogging is that real value comes through the discussion in the comments. Yesterday I wrote a post that spurred a great conversation both on Twitter and in comments and we collectively figured out some of the problems. In this post I want to address one of the problems – how do you define expert?

I’ll keep this short and sweet… Here is how I define an expert…

  1. Always learning 
  2. A thought leader who invokes discussion and teaches others
  3. A community leader whose goal is to raise collective awareness
  4. Results oriented, not jargon oriented

How about you? How do you define an expert?

Let us know in the comments…
