Distrust Fuels Unproductivity

Corworkers Having and Intense Discussion

Good leadership appears to be on the decline.  At least that is according to new findings released by the Interaction Associates 2011 Building Trust in Business survey, a big warning for businesses and their executive leadership.  The survey states that even as employees express trust in peers by saying their share and collaborate more easily with colleagues, they remain wary and distrustful of their leaders.

This data parallel to that of a June 2011 study by Harris Interactive and Yammer that found workers uncomfortable with management – 35% said they are extremely or very comfortable sharing ideas, suggestions or feedback with executive or C-level management.  So what can leaders do to reverse these thoughts? First and foremost, improve internal communications, share expectations and ultimately, close the gap that exists between management and employees.
