Knowledge Sharing is Knowledge Gaining,
Knowledge is defined as an understanding of information about a subject
that you get by experience or study. A person without the knowledge of past
history, culture and subject related to his/her job is like a tree without
roots. Knowledge is wealth which can’t be stolen by others and rather you gain
when others try to take it from you. Knowledge sharing is knowledge gaining
while knowledge hoarding and keeping close
to your chest are restricting your growth In today’s fast-moving technology wave is effecting our lifestyle, productivity and job security. In such an emerging
scenario of global uncertainty, one must be a fast learner .risk taker and
adaptive to emerging global trends. One can’t
work in isolation and claim to be one-know-all. Instead, future lies of collaborative
working by sharing knowledge among peers and with channel partners. Someone has rightly said that knowledge is
like a garden; if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested.
It is not
getting just one degree and doing one additional course and hope a god job
falling in your lap. Instead, one should be a lifelong student with fire in the
belly to learn more and more. An investment in creating and distributing knowledge
by the organisation to its employees the best Return on Investment ( ROI). Likewise,
spending money, time and effort by an individual to gain newer knowledge are in the best interest of an individual. Indeed, knowledge is the power and you need the power to succeed in this fast-moving
global market. Some wise man has said that “knowledge
is like a garden; if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested. Likewise, India’s late president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has said
that “knowledge with action converts
adversity into prosperity”. Following words of wisdom are always true.
“The more
you learn, the more you earn and more self-confidence you will have.” Brian Tracy
Share with Others. Sharing knowledge means people are keen on giving
help to others and seeking help from others. This way they collectively help each other to develop new capacities for action and
innovations. Infect, your earning ability and future career growth is mainly dependent upon your knowledge,
skill and your ability to combine that knowledge and skill in such a way that
you contribute value for which customers are going to pay. Knowledge in the
form of information, skills, research work
or expertise when shared among people, friends, families, communities or
organizations, benefits all participants. A person with sound knowledge of the
subject will be a good speaker to impact the audience, a good administrator to
manage an organisation and a good boss to groom his/her subordinates. Knowledge
acts as a force multiplier as it enhances the personality of the person. It is
good to know about yourself, your boss, your organisation, channel partners,
and your competitors. However, many times we don’t know how much we
don’t know – here is a pathway Ã
·
It
is good to know how much you know;
·
But
very important to let others ( Boss/Peers) know how much you know.;
·
Still
more important to know how much you don’t know;
·
Once
you know how much you don’t know, you are wise;
·
Now
Search and find from where to know what
you don’t know;
·
Once
you found out knowledge source/resource, go for it and get it:
·
When
you know what you didn’t know, you are
Knowledgeable.

Hurrah,
Congratulations! You are knowledgeable! Start Sharing
knowledge and Growing
Let us follow the great
words -
“If you have the knowledge, let others light their candles in it.” Margaret
Fuller
