What is it about?
Effective management requires managers to learn and know a lot but which practices do managers use when facing the need to acquire local know-how that only some subordinates know? How to explain managers who mostly do not admit ignorance rather than admitting it in order to learn and well-function in job?

Why is it important?
Since for the first time is untangled how detrimental for managerial functioning are the twins of low-moral careerism and ignorance concealment which it engenders and which are largely unexplained by the literature, especially when they are prevalent due to contextual impacts.
Perspectives
About low-moral careerism and escorting concealment of managerial ignorance I didn't read in any management book as they are neglected topics concealed by managers as dark secrets hence it took me many years to realize that this combinatio is the explanation for the mismanagement I have witnessed in the 5 plants studied.
