Week 3: Homework: Bad News Messages

Successful organizations value candid communication, even when the news isn’t good. Unsuccessful organizations, on the other hand, often ignore problems. In successful organizations, colleagues who speak up and raise issues are rewarded. In unsuccessful organizations, those who speak up are criticized. Most organizations exist somewhere on a continuum when it comes to encouraging candid communication. Some are highly open to it, others completely shun it, and most fall somewhere in-between.

Please choose one of the following two scenarios to respond to.
