It’s time we stopped sharing. No, really. If you have something to say, tell me (or us, throughout). If you have something to give to me, give it to me. If you have something that you want to show me, then show it to me, hand it to me, slide it over but please stop sharing it. I can’t give it back when we’re done, now, can I?
I know, it all comes out of the “kinder – gentler” phase and I get it. But, please, stop it. We can’t really, in the final definition of the word, really share it, now can we? No, we can’t. You can tell me the information you have, you can show me your nice PowerPoint slides, you can even recite your ideas that, honestly, I am willing to listen to but, ya just gotta stop all the sharing. Get a grip. Telling me you have some things you want to “share” with me is, frankly, starting to sound a bit creepy.
So, stop all the sharing. I’m beggin’ ya, do what you came here to do, sit down, and let’s digest it, let’s talk it over, let’s get to the bottom of it but we just gotta stop all the sharing. If all we ever do is share everything, then who, in the finaly analysis, really owns it? And, if nobody really owns it, then were does the responsibility and the accountability lie? I’m just askin’.
