Document Summary

Final project: communication strategy for adaptive leadership toolkit. The problems that have been reviewed are in the focus areas of working conditions, company & strategy, and job satisfaction. The largest and most affected problem area if working conditions where there is a lack of front-line supervisor leadership. Employees don"t feel supported, seen, heard, and that their supervisors act in ethical ways. In the company & strategy focus area the positive result for employees believing that company decisions are driven by the vision and mission has been on a decline. This directly affects how lower management will act if their ceo and upper leadership aren"t being perceived as following the mission and vision of the company. Lastly the job satisfaction category, while mostly positive results, it is the most important area of concern. Employees don"t feel appreciated, like their skills are being used effectively, and less that 50% are satisfied with their job.
