When you empower people, there is a built-in peace of loyalty.
When you are not sharing information, you're not empowering your team.
So many of us are limited by our unwillingness to give up something, either because you're a wanting to hoard the knowledge or the skills to ensure job security.
The worst thing that you can do as a leader is to walk around in that sense of power, and not empower your team.
