Information sharing

"We only know what they want us to know," Steven pointed out.

Ask any executive what his or her major problem is, and the chances are good that the reply would be something like: "Communication. We never seem to have the right information."

More often it's a result of a policy of secrecy: tell employees only what they need to do their jobs.

I believe and practise sharing virtually all information with my key team members that is not considered personal. The net result I find is a climate of openess. Furthermore this information sharing provided a basis for my team members to engage in proactive problem solving.
