Why Your Open-Door Policy Doesn’t Work – and What to Do Instead
The intent behind your open-door policy is good: a door that is figuratively always open to encourage transparency, open lines of communication, a standing invitation for your employees to bring you issues that affect them or their work. But relying on an open-door policy to give you what you need to lead creates several problems and can undermine the culture you want to create. In this episode you’ll get specific strategies you can use to move beyond the open-door and lead with intention.
