When you are working at a company, the idea is to make your best effort to be the deepest domain expert in that particular field in the entire company. If you are in accounting, read every available relevant book on accounting. If you are at a company writing software to do computational fluid dynamics, then really understand the math, the available theories about best practices, and so on.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were less than honest.
It's also important to be the domain expert for something the company cares about. If you are the best accountant in the world, but your boss doesn't care for accounting and would rather outsource it, you'll never be in a good bargaining position, no matter how important your job is really to the company. Even if losing you would sink the company, it doesn't matter if your boss doesn't know or care.
