Knowledge about how your colleagues do things helps you become a better colleague. It uproots mistakes from your end and saves headaches to everyone in the work ecosystem. It helps make things easier to them.
It reminds me of Socrates’ insight that ignorance is the most common root for evil. Ignorance about how things work only create mistakes that are misunderstood as bad-faith —often by the same people primed to preserve hierarchies.
Now knowledge is power. And one must build up guardrails to protect systems from bad actors. I suppose this is a big reason why organizations should spend time and money to hire people of values and who know themselves well —a rare combination.
