In graduate school (1980) we agreed that a professional is someone who will do the right thing based on extensive knowledge of the domain, whether or not the customer knows to ask for it. Today, Iâd say it this way: A professional is someone trusted to do the right thing based on extensive knowledge of the domain, whether or not the customer knows enough to ask for it. You donât need the customersâ permission, but you do need their trust.
