We had a guy who knew everything, and was a gate keeper to that knowledge. New VP came in, and said he had to no longer be a silo of knowledge. He kept being a silo. VP fired him and expected the team to play catch up, knowing the company would take a hit short term but be better long term. Buyer beware.
- kejaed 7y agoHow did that work out in the short term and then in the long run?
- sethammons 7y agoShort term was scary, some folks put in more hours, systems too longer to recover if something went sideways (which they did, a lot). Long term, it was great. A whole team of people who were able to keep systems green and diversity of opinions on how to improve systems. It worked out better than I could have expected.
