Non seulement y-a-t-il des freins à demander de l'information, mais la réception, l'écoute de sources d'information pourtant crédibles est aussi freiner par la même attitude d'insécurité ou de besoin d'affirmer son leadership (même négativement).

(...) It seems that the problem is not with motivation to share, but with motivation to ask. So, I guess we have to turn the problem upside down: "why people do not ask for knowledge of others?"

This question may be more difficult: sharing your knowledge at least makes you an "expert" while asking others can "show" how "stupid" you are. Next to it there is "not invented here" syndrome and higher satisfaction of inventing your own solutions rather than reusing work of others.

My questions:

• Why people ask/do not ask questions (search for expertise of others)?
• What can be done to create an environment that motivates people to ask more questions?
• Will an environment where people ask questions improve knowledge sharing (and contribute to KM)?
