This nothing new just a refresher...

PLEASE know that this is just a topic of conversation (blog) it is not necessarily a feeling I have right now...it has been in the past though.

Communication.

What is it? an act or instance of transmitting; a technique for expressing ideas effectively (as in speech)

Do you believe good communication is necessary to run a successful organization?
Do you feel employees of all ranks should be completely up to date with vision of the company?
How long would a company keep production if the VP’s, Managers, and supervisors kept everything to themselves and rarely communicated with the employees?
What if they were arrogant and did not care about your success?
They only considered their importance…not yours?
What if you emailed your upper management or lower with a question about how the dept. is doing and they delayed in response or never responded at all? Due in part because you really did not need to know what was going on because you are not at there level of authority.

Would this keep you motivated?

It is true and fact that there are some things the lower level employees should know and stuff they should not…but do you ever let them know that? NO

Making a team or individual feel equally as important as the rest with up to par communication, I believe, is KEY to a successful and productive organization.

I feel this carries over to the production of the “staff” of an organization known as a church. So many times I here pastors talk about the church being like a business…but they run it like a dictatorship or communist(these forms of leadership DO NOT work...it is historical fact)...the pastor is a leader...but he can not do everything.

And no…I am not some broom handling stock boy…I have a real job with a real company that is pretty successful. So, I have constant picture of a successful business in front of me for 8 hours a day every day. People are people...we are human...we are normal...we having feelings.

Communication is hands down one of the most important factors of keeping an organization successful. Most of all it is needed when an organization is growing, and new people who may not be completely in line with the vision of an organization are coming in. I like these thoughts, I study these thoughts 5-6 days a week(I am taking a class over this very topic)
