I think I have been one of these employees before. However, management basically did the opposite of what was suggested here. Goals were so vague and corporate-speak and abstract that they were indecipherable. Expectations were kept vague. I was routinely praised for average work and ignored for good work. Managers canceled 1 on 1s and never renewed them. It was a constant uphill battle to get managers to actually talk to team members because they also wore other hats like project manager, product owner, etc.
