globeandmail.com : Keep employees in loop

I've always preached the value of keeping employees informed as to what's going on in the organization, so this article is not news to me. It does, however, make the point that supervisors and managers can be the most effective agents of change.

Read the article, and then take a good close look at your own skills in this area.
