The idea of building a think-tank of knowledge that all can dip into would mean that you would encourage others to share their knowledge and identify how they can assist and develop others. Thanks for the response. Mark Great thoughts, Elke!

Also, to some extent no one is more knowledgeable than the other, by having more open dialogue, a think tank mentality can be built and this will unify common goals and each perspective goal with greater synergy. The 'subordinate' will then have greater respect for the 'manager' and will usually respect the newly established boundary.
