My last position had this problem. ‘Silo’s of knowledge’. We had a guy who could have retired yesterday who had so much institutional knowledge that when he left people were in such disarray. He was all, “I warned ya! You should have had me training people!”
But no one wants to learn anything beyond their tunnel vision job title.
You’d be surprised how many people have the drive and motivation to learn other things than their job.
