I hate this mentality. Not disclosing knowledge because it's your leverage. Or not leveraging the knowledge internally because you're "too important" to learn

I hate this mentality.
Not disclosing knowledge because it's your leverage. Or not leveraging the knowledge internally because you're "too important" to learn from your people.
Leaders typically demonstrate narcissistic traits to some extent. Whether that's ambition or incentive driven.
Almost to the point of a SNAFU / FUBAR situation when a leader with these traits are backed into a corner or didn't get their way so they aren't willing to comply.
- boringg 4y agoCounter thought here. Isn't there a risk of divulging and sharing information and then said narcissistic executives can scoop up that information and leverage up the chain of command? It's similar to the tragedy of the commons but around knowledge and power. It's also a zero sum mentality.
- thenerdhead 4y agoYeah for sure. Especially the "leaders" who need aces in their sleeves to perform. Those who lay everything out on the table have nothing to lose. They have enough self-respect to not have to stoop to that level. But the world is full of both these types at this level.
