Want to freak out your employees? Don’t tell them anything.

We all know things aren’t good. And in times like these, you have two options on how you can respond.

The first is to do what many companies do – don’t tell anyone anything, let the rumors of layoffs spread, and watch productivity come to a grinding halt. Sure everyone seems busy, but are they really?

The second is to do the right thing – tell your employees what is going on, let them know what the worst case scenario might be, and get their ideas on how to ensure it doesn’t happen. Then implement their ideas.

What’s your choice?
