Handling rumours

This was a very interesting piece I came across...

A company was in dolldrums and speculation was rife among its employees about its impending closure. Rumours floated every now and then. The CEO wanted the people to believe in whatever he said but that did not happen.

Eventually, he put up a board asking people to put the latest rumour they heard about the company.

Slowly, employees did realise that the CEO acted in their interest. And the rest they say is history.

Communication channels could never be more open.
