Barriers to the Sharing of Tacit Knowledge

1. Hierarchies, when they implicitly assume wisdom accrues to those with the most impressive organizational titles
2. Strong preferences for analysis over intuition discouraging employees to offer ideas without "hard facts" to back it up
3. Penalties for failure discouraging experimentation
4. Strong preferences for a particular type of communication within working groups
5. Fear of failing to express the inexpressible when trying to convert tacit knowledge into explicit one
6. Inequality in status among the participants is a strong inhibitor for tacit knowledge sharing, especially when exacerbated by different frameworks for assessing information
7. Uneasiness of expressing emotional life experiences rather than intellectual disagreements
8. Distance, both physical separation and time
