Most of the time, I’ve seen that knowledge-sharing is very powerful when everyone shares what they know with other team members. When people openly exchange knowledge, the whole team grows. But when they don’t, the same mistakes get repeated and progress feels slower.
From what I’ve noticed in the office, one of the best ways to share knowledge is through short knowledge-sharing sessions. It doesn’t have to be a big presentation. Even a quick 10–15 minute talk where someone explains a tool, a shortcut, or a method they use can save everyone a lot of time. It may seem small, but it can make our work faster every single day.
The second habit I like is having small, informal chit-chats with colleagues from other roles (developers, designers, writers). This is typically the best method of picking up new technologies. It’s especially helpful when new tools or updates are released, so everyone is aware of what’s going on in the world of technology.
Yes, knowledge-sharing also happens in small moments—like answering a quick question in chat or giving feedback in the moment. Most important is to have a culture where people feel comfortable sharing what they know and others are open to learning.
To me, the best knowledge-sharing doesn’t have to be complicated. It is about consistency and making it part of everyday teamwork.
