Yeah this is the biggest issue to me. Don't voluntarily give out news that might not come to fruition. Crushing high hopes is worse than not giving them in the first place. If a particular employee seems keen to learn more, and you think they might benefit from knowing, you could privately let them know there are tentative things you're pursuing, and give an example or two, while being cautious with them and telling them it might fall through. But no need to announce things that haven't happened yet.
