The key element of every organization’s culture is simple communication. And nothing is more critical to internal communication than an organization’s management information system, i.e. how management communicates with the organization. But many individuals who grow into leadership positions often assume that management information systems can’t be changed or altered.  Even worse, some assume that people don’t need to know key things about how the organization works or doesn’t work and they begin to limit information disseminated to their employees. They are deliberately being ambiguous.
