## Resource

Lucas and Luna tackle the delicate challenge of an employee who withholds information to maintain power. Using the real case of a mid-level marketing manager at a fast-growing SaaS company, they explore why information hoarding happens—often rooted in job insecurity or past organizational trauma—and offer a three-step approach: name the behavior without accusation, create structured information-sharing rhythms like weekly 'knowledge drops,' and reward transparency explicitly. They also discuss when it's a systems problem versus a person problem, drawing on research from Google's Project Aristotle about psychological safety. A practical episode for any manager who suspects someone on their team is gatekeeping knowledge. #InformationHoarding #KnowledgeManagement #TeamDynamics #PeopleManagement #LeadershipSkills #ManagerTraining #PsychologicalSafety #ProjectAristotle #GoogleResearch #SaaS #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheManagersHour #TeamBuilding #Communication #Trust #WorkplaceCulture Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
