There's a big difference between...
#1. "Joe is our best database person. Everyone asks Joe for help,
whenever they're working on tough database stuff."
and
#2. "Joe is our /officially anointed/ database person. All database
work must be done by Joe."
One of these does a better job of empowering the workers, enabling
cross training, improving the agility of the team so that it can best
balance the workload, etc.
