It's so tempting to mentally check out. Or you could do the opposite, just as an experiment. I wonder what would happen? Thanks for stopping by, Vicky!

If the culture of your work environment is closed and secretive with no real flow of information down within the organization, i think it conditions employees to 'not listen' because the trust is not there. They know they are not getting meaningful information and know they are not part of the team, they are rather the worker bees. Many times within these same types of organization, information is meant to lead you in a different direction, which makes me feel like a dog chasing a ball. Employers want to hire intelligent people, then are so surprised when these same individuals resent being treated like they are not a part of the vision and realize that they are dogs chasing balls. In my personal life however, this is a very valuable article and I will try to remember to slow down. Great article Tammy!
