That's so funny. I just heard about NIH about a couple of weeks ago from a mentor on another team who described how she'd experienced that in running her own business. She was contracted to provide CEO's with a business report that was very expensive. The CEO would love it. If the CEO took it home to his wife it was often subjected to the NIH Syndrome and picked to pieces.
She and I commiserate about the people who don't appreciate all the work involved, the process, and what was accomplished, and prefer to criticize and blame, point out what SHOULD have been done, plan what should BE done, and expect others to put in all the time and effort to put those plans in place, without offering their own time and energy.
