Knowledge Sharing
I think knowledge sharing can be good and bad in the workplace. I think it is good because it can sometimes prevent a person from having to look like an idiot by asking someone a question. Also, it can be bad because people do not always want to share everything they know, but they feel that if they share their knowledge then what are they good for. There needs to be a balance between the two. I think with the advancement of the Internet and how much information is on the web, then maybe just a directory with the proper people to ask a question to should be the solution. This way people would feel like they are still needed but at the same time their knowledge would be available for others. Thoughts?

I agree that knowledge sharing is a balancing act. Sharing knowledge is an integral part of succeeding as an organization. If people do not share the successful tactics they use, others might do the wrong thing and cost the company dearly. At the same time, people can't just give away the knowledge that makes them an asset to the organization.
