Recently I have been attending speeches and reading a lot of blogs and books. Basically, I have been pretty active in pursuing knowledge. A lot of management books talk about gaining new knowledge and also about sharing the knowledge. When I first learned this I didn’t quite understand it. I viewed knowledge that I had worked hard for as giving me the edge over other co-workers. However, as I start doing it more and more I am really starting to see the benefit.

Offering the knowledge to everyone helps build trust and encourages the info to start flowing in both directions. You will find that when you share your knowledge or newly obtained skills with someone, they really appreciate it. And rather than using them against you, they work harder to try in help you. You’ll also find that the ones who you wanted to keep it from the most probably won’t really recognize the importance of it or have the motivation to pursue it. By sharing the knowledge you can create a lot of trust and gain the support of your co-workers.
