Not only are the principals emotionally charged in the process, but employees, customers and shareholders are also affected. The problem can be exacerbated by inconsistent information or long gaps between communications, and by the fact that management often has a cheerleading attitude that employees find phony. Another problem is that top managers often don't seek out feedback from employees, so they don't know that their way of communicating is hurting rather than helping a company's performance. Another reason Wells Fargo and Union Pacific ran into problems was that they sacked too many of the wrong people. People never fit together as easily as flow charts.
