Management by communication
Management by communication involves informing employees of main objectives, risks or problems that the company faces, as well as sharing information on plans and strategies that will lead to development of the organization (and perhaps more work to do for employees). Informed employees feel more united with organization and appreciated by managers, which greatly affects the quality of their work. This also contributes to building a climate of trust and a good working atmosphere.
