On Hoarding and Knowledge Sharing
McMaster Daily News: "Co-workers hoard their best ideas; Silence, not sharing, is the norm"
I was intrigued to see this article, shared by a member of the current CPSquare Foundations of Communities of Practice workshop, where I'm a guest this week (online).
Knowledge sharing is lifeblood to me, but I'm afraid I don't always stop and notice the knowledge sharing practices of others. I hope the authors share more of their information (I've seen a bit, but it has not been released) as it is really interesting how they analyzed the relationship between knowledge sharing and not sharing and noted that they are not opposites. There are conditions which influence why we don't share. I think they called them knowledge hording and knowledge hiding.
Anyway, why do you share or not share your knowledge?

I think I have to opposite problem. I'm happy to share knowledge with others, but I'm afraid of standing out as being too knowledgeable. I don't want to make others envious. I'm afraid I'll appear conceited.
Hi Nancy.
Great question and it got me thinking (dangerous I know!).
Response is too long for a comment so I've blogged about it.
I can't find a 'trackback' address on your blog so here's the link:
