If you're a specialist then you probably have some expertise, which enables you to objectively state a case for doing something or doing something in a certain way. And you should be able to persuade others that it is the right thing to do. Being the expert doesn't give you the right to make unilateral decisions in a team. Give your knowledge freely. You have an obligation to help people learn from you. Be approachable and share.
