be an expeditionist not an expert

I came across an artile in forbes, that explained about getting a job in the AI era. It focused on the importance of the "why" behind the thing you study. Success no longer depends on what you study but why you study. AI can imitate what we do but not 'why' we do it.

To quote a piece from the artilce.

"Being as talented and successful as you are means that people will soon look to you for answers. They'll expect you to think and act like an expert, and if you're not paying attention, that's exactly what you'll do.”

“But,” I continued, “you didn’t get to where you are today by being a great expert. You got to where you are by being a great expeditionist."
