Isn't this why we have companies, and brainstorming, and friends?
I think it's called "community", or maybe "collaboration". Or "entrepreneurship", in the commercial extreme. Heck, there are businesses that revolve around putting together groups to overcome such situations.
The problem times come when the person without the skill is Convinced that they are the only one who can execute their idea. If they are able to acquire the skill, well, then, perhaps the idea will eventually be executed well, and catch on. But if they don't, they may skunk the idea for years to come. Or an undermotivated creator may give up on it too early--persistence is often as important as skill.
