Is Your Company Encouraging Employees to Share What They Know?
By: Christopher G. Myers
Abstract
Is your company encouraging employees to share what they know? Too much expertise is going to waste. Many of the things we need to know to be successful—to innovate, collaborate, solve problems, and identify new opportunities—aren't learned simply through schooling, training, or personal experience. Especially for today's knowledge-based work, much of what we need to know we learn from others' experiences, through what's called vicarious learning.
