As a Navex Global communication specialist, I speak every day with associates who are not satisfied with the tone set by their middle-management superiors. Once associates have felt a break-down between the tone set at the top and the tone established by middle-management, their top prerogative is to know that someone is listening to them, and that they can trust higher officials to hold middle-management to the ethical standards set by the company.
What an interesting observation that problems arise when middle-management is selected based on job performance, without necessarily having their new role as a tone-setter reinforced. Thanks Carrie!
