Strategy naturally flows down from the top of any organization to the teams and individuals below. Team members receive this strategy and are asked to execute it in a fashion to achieve important outcomes.
Disconnect between the decisions made by those at the strategic level of organisations and those at the operational level tasked with implementing them was a very clear challenge in organisations.
Inclusive decision making was found to be a mitigator against this disconnect
Does your research lead you to believe it is almost an inevitable part of organizational communication? Or does this problem come up more frequently among leaders who behave a certain way?
Thanks for you participation in these comments... always appreciate seeing you.
It really does appear to link with leaders who aren’t making a concerted and regular effort to engage with colleagues at the operational level. And when I say engage I mean purposely make bottom up communication a real, tangible and effective mechanism. There are leaders that make it happen and leaders that don’t.
It is more of a challenge in big organisations with lots of layers but not insurmountable. If you want to engage people in solving problems and making decisions it’s infinitely possible. You just have to try harder
My research definitely aligns with this.
