In an organisation employee always feel they are under stress. They take least initiative and fear to express their problems before the manager. What do you think is wrong with the manager ?

Explanation

In my opinion, the manager lacks good and effective communication skills, which has resulted in creating fear amongest employees. Various personal barriers may be the cause of this, which are as follows :
(i) Fear of challenge to authority A superior is likely to withhold or supress a message, if he perceives that it will adversely affect his authority.
(ii) Lack of confidence of superior on his subordinates A superior, who does not have confidence in his subordinates is not likely to seek their advice and suggestions.
(iii) Unwillingness to comuunicate A subordinate may not communicate with his superiors, if he perceives that it will affet his interests.
(iv) Lack of proper incentives Employees may not take initiative to communicate in the absence of proper incentives.
