Effective Communication Between Employees and Leaders

Please prepare a response to the following post:
Chapter three of "Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace: Building Effective Relationships in Your Organization " remarks that openness and transparency aid in fostering an environment which builds trust (Reina & Reina, 2015). This trust, the authors state, cultivates a sense of collaboration and authentic exchanges which increases the efficacy of performance. This trust of communication is earned through sharing information, being forthcoming about mistakes, speak honestly, give and receive feedback, speak with good intent and lastly maintain confidentiality (Reina & Reina, 2015).
In light of this, leaders may choose to share information about their activities and decision making which does not directly impact or affect their subordinates because it creates a sense of trust and inclusion within the unit. In "Our Iceberg is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions" authors John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber discuss how creating a sense of urgency allows employees to buy into organizational initiatives (Kotter & Rathgeber, 2006). I believe transparency and openness in a working environment as it helps to give context to operational decisions, promotes open dialogue and builds trust in such a manner where employees are able to admit to their mistakes, voice concerns, try new things and voice opposition.
