This multidimensionality requires a more comprehensive assessment in decision-making processes. ## A New Approach to Theory Building The study goes beyond traditional expertise models, offering a dynamic and context-sensitive framework. This approach enables the development of new theories in organizational behavior and human decision-making. ## Expertise Evaluation in Leadership How leaders evaluate their expertise in decision-making directly impacts team performance. The research emphasizes the need for leaders to balance different dimensions of expertise. ## The Role of Organizational Context Expertise evaluation cannot be considered independently of an organization's culture and structure. The study details how contextual factors shape the perception of expertise. ## Practical Applications The findings can help companies redesign their training and development programs. The expertise evaluation framework can be integrated into performance management systems. ## A Roadmap for Future Research This study opens new research avenues for understanding the relationship between expertise and decision-making. Particularly, how digital transformation is redefining expertise warrants further investigation. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749597826000439?dgcid=rss_sd_all — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
