And so it will for organizations who move to greater employee participation as a means for improving organizational performance. This is certainly the case for federal government agencies. For managers, skills are much the same. Without that skill foundation, participation can be a frustrating experience for all concerned.

Participation is information driven .
If employees are expected to make quality inputs into planning, working, and evaluating, they will need good information to start with. But managers need to get beyond that and routinely put relevant information into the hands of employees and help them see why it is important. And more than that, expect them to use it to do their jobs more effectively. Participation takes time up front to save time later. For many managers, the important thing is to get things moving, and produce results.
