On my team, I am certainly trying to build a culture centered around being open, honest, and always on the quest for more knowledge to not only improve themselves, but also help the team be smarter through knowledge sharing/transfer. I take this approach because I noticed a trend among a lot of young professionals in that if they find they are the smartest people in the room, then they should quit. I actually dislike this approach because it emphasizes that if you think that you are the smartest, then screw the team and move on. This is often a bad approach because although someone may not know something, if you take the time to show them, they often may help you discover something you did not see.
Therefore, I am focused on building a culture around the opposite as well a more open and casual environment where we can all help ourselves while also pushing the business forward together. No man or woman left behind.
Great idea. I'd love to hear how it works out, including wrinkles & hiccups.
