The study of "Organizational Behavior" is fascinating to me. Of course. Management's decisions and communications cause certain perceptions among workers. From my perspective, management understanding and respect for these perceptions is more the exception than the rule. Management's understanding of the impacts of these decisions and communications and perceptions is usually thin. Creativity is an especially shy creature. A "safe" environment over a long period of time is necessary to foster real creativity and real risk-taking. That creativity and risk-taking results in the kinds of breakthroughs that place a company at the top of an industry. But again, that environment is rarely fostered.
