Sharing of knowledge is like shucking oysters. You'll get nothing from anyone unless you pry it out. Everyone feels they have the upper hand if they hold the secret sauce.
Products and solutions are being built the same way. In a vacuum. Little collaboration until they stumble and need a shovel to dig themselves out.
I'd be better off learning three chords and singing the truth on College Avenue.
Hoarding of knowledge does not work never has here the ki-l list uses no logic. Remember its all about those skilled at politics not people that actually do anything
You know how far Elvis made it, by only playing three chords on his guitar. Maybe you have something, there!
When they moved me from a small team of 3 to a team of 6 & had me showing our new manger how to complete tasks just figured it was cause the old manager was a rube and being forced out given their serious issues with leadership.
Little did I know the new larger team would be gutted and the subpar manager kept for institutional knowledge. I'd say watch out if you get a new team and are showing the new boss how to complete things.
Its psychotic.
