"I onced have a new manager, and he insists on my writing all I know to share with my colleagues. I was so sure that I am going to be fired or retrenched after I had shared everything I know."
While tacit knowledge is common in organizations, the difficulty is convincing people to share knowledge. For some reasons, most people resist sharing knowledge. How do you hope to have a culture of sharing?
This prompt a look at the organization culture.
- Is there a culture of sharing in place?
- Is there communication on what the procedures will be used for, and assuring my classmate that he will not be retrenched?
- Is rewards neccessary for encouraging people to share?
- Does hiring the candidate with the right mindset impact the culture of sharing or can a candidate be trained to adopt a culture of sharing?
- How do you make more people share what they know willingly?
