Personal Development Bridges The Gap

Dunning Kruger effect is a concept that makes people overestimate their knowledge or ability, especially in areas they have little to no experience. When people feel they have no specialized skills they tend to overestimate their skills, 

and it makes them also unable to recognize these skills from others too.

'The very knowledge and skills necessary to be good at a task are the same qualities that a person needs to recognize that they are not good at that task. So if a person lacks those abilities, they remain not only bad at that task but ignorant to their inability'.

Despite the fact we all have a natural endowment in different specialization, the best way to succeed in dealing with underestimating or overestimating our abilities in a particular unfamiliar task is through continuous learning and personal development, liaise with experts in the field, challenging your knowledge, ask for feedback and never be afraid of asking for help and showing up.
