Why we need to share information to empower our team

What changes when we have access to information?

<p>It widens our “map” , it gives us more insight on where we are standing on the map</p> <p>It improves our perspective.
It gives us better understanding of potentials and risks.
It allows us to act faster and more appropriate to a situation.</p> <h2>Scenario #1</h2>

<p>this is how it looks like when you have limited info.
what would you next move be?
can you calculate risks “from a higher perspective”?</p> <h2>Scenario #2</h2>
<p>this is what it looks like when you have more access to info.
paths to success become more apparent.
risks can be more calculated.
you can finally think “from a higher perspective”</p> <p>Look again at scenario#1,  success is almost in front of you. But what prevented you from doing that?
If this was a task you gave to your member, why did you not allow him/her to see it?
We cannot say ”please try to look from a bigger perspective” while not giving resources
that would allow our people to see from that perspective.
Instead we should practice Stewardship  to share information and scale our operations.</p> <p>Look back at scenario#2  did i really give you the full access to info?</p> <p>Other References</p> <ul><li>Also read from hbr.org</li><li>The neuroscience of trust</li><li>Anti-Pattern: Mushroom Management</li></ul>
