[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 640189, member: 265"] The problem can have more to do with morale over the long term. The executive I mentioned had lost the trust and support of many of the employees after a year or so. He kept making optimistic assertions about reaching goals and never pulled it off. When that happened he had a tendency to blame those in the trenches and doubt their commitment to the institution. He also began to micromanage to "be sure everything was being done correctly". That meant deactivating the employees who were ready to help and keeping decisions increasingly to himself and his close circle, who were increasingly unwilling to cross him. (This is sometimes called "mushroonming"; i.e. you keep people in the dark and you feed them <impolite term for human excerment>. He spied on people too.) If rumors of this start to emerge, we will see the results. Again, let's hope I'm wrong and this is largely a front intended to tamp down criticism. [/QUOTE]
