A worthwhile little post. However: > The truth is the final and most endemic problem. Employees incorrectly (in many cases) believe that the boss doesn't want to hear from them, doesn't want constructive feedback. This needs to be thought through a bit more. A blunt, honest comment to ones boss is often the kind of thing that has a small upside in the best case, and a large downside in the worst case. Why take a nearly pointless risk? What the boss thinks he "wants" is hardly relevant.
