Scenario

When workplace teams reward performed competence over genuine collaboration

Our team does this thing where we all pretend to be more confident and competent than we actually feel, and it's making it impossible to ask for help or admit when we don't know something. The person who seems most put-together gets the most respect, so we're all performing competence instead of actually building it together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The competitive performance of expertise is preventing the vulnerability necessary for collective learning and mutual support.
