One area that is a "knowledge wild west" is managerial and executive decision making. Apparently, people are expected to figure out how to handle an incalculable amount of business situations through osmosis or intuition.
My move into management roles quickly led me to plateau. I could only realistically improve my coaching skills. Decision-making skill seemed to be dependent on situational exposure, which meant upper management levels were only achievable after years of experience. This explains management demographics and the perception of the ambiguity of management roles. "What do managers do all day??"
I made a breakthrough though. I learned about Decision Modeling and Notation, which I earnestly embraced. I began modeling all sorts of situations I encountered as a manager. My ultimate failure was in not being able to apply it to the knowledge of people further up the totem pole. It's hard to explain to people that management can be largely systematized, especially when that itself is a paradigm shift that could be a threat to their own status.
