COMMON GOAL

UNDERSTANDING

You know a little about the field, its connection to the other fields, maybe some of the unique players and their unique roles.

APPRENTICE

You have a solid understanding of the key concepts. You could explain it to someone else to teach them the gist of it. You may need to refer to manuals or mentors for difficult tasks, yet you can get most jobs done. 

FLUENCY

You know all the key aspects of your job and can execute them efficiently and without assistance.

CREATIVITY

This is one step beyond being a professional. It is a professional with a specialty that sets them apart from the average person.

MASTERY

This is the final level and it involves understanding your field, craft, or skill so well that there is virtually nothing you cannot do. You understand the connections between your work and everything it touches. You are able to solve new and unique problems that others cannot. You are often not only dominating your field, but inventing where it will go in the future.
