Abstract
As an organization grows, vested
interests assume predominance over
organizational interest. This leads to
predominance of hoarding of
knowledge over its sharing; conflict
over co-operation; ‘group’ over
‘team’; fear over ‘trust’ and ‘I’ over
‘you’. What was a single entity earlier
now takes the shape of a segregated
community. Organizational
leaders should take a multi-pronged
approach to counter this hoarding
and simultaneously let knowledge
flow freely benefitting everyone in
the value-chain, argues the author.
