reflect
  1. What options does Matthew have?
  2. What would you do in Matthew's place? Would you share your experience with others?
  3. What might be the consequences if Matthew decided not to share his knowledge? Which will be the consequences on a team level, and which on an organizational level?

Feedback:

  1. Here are the options that Matthew has:
    • Hold the course and share all his knowhow, which he acquired during his professional carrier
    • Hold the course without revealing the most strategic and important knowledge; explaining everything vaguely
    • Avoid holding the course with an excuse.
  2. Obviously, there is no "right" or "wrong" answer to this question, but there is room for a second reflection, regardless of what your answer was:
    • Up to which point do you think your choice was influenced by your trust in your colleagues or in the company, in that situation?
    • What role is played by the fear of losing power or the job.
  3. A manager who doesn't share his knowledge with his colleagues and employees, doesn't support them in their personal and professional growth. If a good leader's first objective is to help his people grow, then Matthew isn't fully fulfilling his function. Managers who do not share, not only stop the growth of their team, but they also slow down and boycott the organizational learning and the company growth).
