Why Transparency Creates a Clear Path to Success and How to Maintain ItCollaborative partners openly share information. But what happens when one goes rogue?

Q: Partners and employees at my company are expected to pool contact information for clients and prospective clients in a database. We find that having information easily accessible maximizes partner relationships in making deals.

But some partners aren't cooperating. When my client needed confirmation of market data, I asked another partner for assistance. He confirmed the data analysis through a client he refused to name, leaving me -- and my client -- without a reference point. My partner's lack of transparency is unethical. But he's a rainmaker, and as our company's driving value is making money, other partners aren't concerned. What are my options?
