View source for Principle of the Humble Elite

===Definition===
“For certain governmental functions, shining of the function must be handled by experts. Such an elite must be humble in that it accepts the responsibility to explain its decisions to the public and be responsive to their viewpoints” - [[Michael Arbib]] - [http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/ASC/PRINCI_ELITE.html Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems]

===Applications===
The applications of this principle are widespread. For instance, this is extremely useful in software development, customer service and technologically savvy startup founders explaining to investors what they are doing and why without making the investors feel intellectually inferior along the way, or explaining to a client the process of a design or development project, respecting their different background.
