Hello Dba,
If you (or for that matter any group/organization(s) wants individuals
to have cross domain
problem solving mindset, ask him/her/them up front during the
interview process about
it OR If that's too late in the game, actively
encourage/highlight/communicate that approach
within the team and go from there.
I believe, in lots of big organizations, knowledge silos get formed
and lots of techies tend to
follow the "let the subject matter expert look at it" thought (whether
or not they are capable
of troubleshooting/resolving it).
If reason is pure "lack of technical abilities", the uninterested
individuals could be encouraged/
gradually educated. However, if the core issue is non-technical -
e.g. - group culture where
only leads/highly experienced/subject matter experts are expected to
own the resolution of
the problem in practical sense, that is more of an overall
environment/management issue in
my view.
