Since returning to work in my country, one of the most perplexing things is the prohibition of discussion, or being treated as a villain when the person tries to share her/his thoughts or discuss ideas with the team. When a team is formed to accomplish something together, especially a cross-disciplinary one, the essence should be discussion, communication of ideas, offering suggestions, converging diverging thoughts, and ultimately finding a common solution or working model from members with diverse backgrounds to develop the desired product or launch a research topic.
However, this approach has consistently been forbidden or scorned. The person is either accused of prying into secrets, criticized for overstepping boundaries, or told to keep things confidential and not let other members know. Even obvious mistakes shouldn't be pointed out; doing so is blamed as disrupting team harmony and gets you blacklisted.
