Where is your lane and how do you stay in it?

Yet another conversation where the question I thought I was asking wasn't the question I got answers to. For me, "staying in your lane" means doing the things you are good at and qualified to do and letting other people do the things they are good at and qualified to do.

JC Glick, LTC (R), U.S. Army, MA started the conversation off by talking about how having "lanes" creates hierarchy where "leaders" won't do jobs that they consider "below" them. 

Seema Desai, DDS, CPC, ACC, ELI-MP, CPDS added that as a dentist, sweeping the floor was sometimes interpreted as her silently rebuking someone for not doing their job (she was just doing something that needed to be done).

Greg Burton shared a real-time event from his business about a problem with his website and how glad he was that figuring out the code was not his lane and he was happy to let others take care of it.

What a rich and different conversation than I thought we would have.

What comes up for you when someone says, "stay in your lane?"
