Bosses and Lack of Trust

The New York Times in their 1/01/07 edition published an ariticle " Study: 2 of 5 Bosses Don't Keep Word. This is based on a study conducted by Wayne Hocwarter an associate professor of management in the College of Business at Florida State Unviversity.

I've weighed in, ad nauseum, about the essential need for trust on the part of leaders...and the debilitating impact where it is absent.  Among other finds, Wayne Hocwarter says:

39% of workers said their supervisor failed to keep promises

37% said their superivisor failed to give credit when due

31% said thier supervisors gave them the silent treatment in the past year

27% said their supervisor made negative comments about them to other employees or managers

WOW: it's obvious why people move on to other companies: why productivity is low: and why workers sabatoge their bosses instructions.

Plus: this supervisory behavior is considered "acceptable" in some organizations.
