respected? yes.
listen? yes.
in full? sometimes, but any smart organization won't take the opinion of just one expert in full, it is best to colloborate with others on a problem (if you have that option).how?
by being an experienced, knowledgable expert in my given field. i don't cater to my own views on projects, i do what is best for the product. i simply know my shit and can back it up when asked. and, i don't care about trite bullshit that goes on. i focus on my work, not on what idiocy is plaguing the rest of the industry (read: psuedo-'community').
honesty is good. i ask each of my employees to be honest. if they don't understand something, don't know how to do it, then say so. we'll figure a way to educate them so they can. don't lie to get a project or role in the project and then half-ass it because you don't know what you're doing.
there is plenty i don't know, and i will say so. that is one of the keys to being an expert at something, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses and admitting to it.
