## Resource

This episode of The Manager's Hour tackles a common but tricky leadership challenge: the team member who strategically withholds information to maintain power. Lucas and Luna break down why this behavior emerges, how it erodes trust and slows down decision-making, and a concrete three-step approach to address it without triggering defensiveness. They discuss the subtle difference between privacy and hoarding, how to reframe transparency as a strength rather than a vulnerability, and what to do if the behavior persists. The conversation grounds the advice in real-world dynamics any manager will recognize, with practical language you can use in your next one-on-one. #InformationHoarding #KnowledgeSharing #TeamTrust #ManagerSkills #Leadership #PeopleManagement #WorkplaceCulture #Transparency #Communication #OneOnOneMeetings #PowerDynamics #PsychologicalSafety #Collaboration #Delegation #Business #ManagementTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
