Anti-Collaboration
I’d like to think that most people would agree with me when I make the following assertion:
Dysfunctional corpo orgs that consciously (or unconsciously) maintain a localized lock on knowledge, expertise, and experience steer themselves toward inefficient and mediocre organizational performance.
Thus, it pains me when I come across (so-called) leaders who ignore social collaboration tools that could bust the chastity belt lock wide open and tremendously boost corpo performance. Believe it or not, some managers go beyond the call of duty. Because of their innate fear of change and their instinctual desire to maintain the status quo, they discourage the use of these tools by never using them to contribute and by privately ostracizing the people that are trying to use them for the company’s benefit. Yet, they always seem to be going to meetings where cost reduction and productivity improvements are the burning fires of the day. What a wonderful world :^)
