Employees feel they are being treated with disdain and disrespect by Mr. Goldin and it is forcing much of the talent out of the Agency. He has ruled by fear instead of obtaining support and enthusiasm for his vision. It is through our Center leadership that the message is being heard and slowly people are accepting and embracing it. I have only a limited knowledge of what other centers are doing to provide the same services that my work group does. This might provide better solutions to common problems.
Communication continues to be more a talked about concept than one that is actually acted upon.
Information is not shared, at lease not in a timely manner. HQ established a Communications Improvement Council the recommendations of which were ignored, and the Council has since either vaporized or become so low key as to be meaningless. Compartmentalized people do not feel themselves to be a part of the total organization, and won't work for the total organization. Lack of communication increases the perception of being compartmentalized. Senior Management has long recognized that there is a communications problem.
