English term or phrase: worth one's salt
El campo específico es un poco vago, pero no veía ninguno que se ajustara demasiado. Se trata de un texto que habla sobre productividad en el campo de la atención sanitaria.
"Can the words healthcare and productivity comfortably co-exist? Well any health sector director worth their salt will tell you that you can’t apply industrial thinking to their organisation."
¿Alguna idea?

(cualquier director) que conoce su trabajo / que domina su profesión


Explanation:
es decir, cualquier buen director, porque lo de "salt" se refiere al sueldo, lo que se le paga al director para su trabajo. Los Romanos solían pagar a sus soldados con sal.
