I love it! 'Ask the scary questions and shake up the leadership.' In order to stay on top or take the company to the next level, what better way to identify the blind spots and set a course for dealing with them.

Great post!

Having just completed just such a survery, I am not deluded into thinking much of anything will truly be changed from the results. Did I write honestly–absolutely! Will the results be skewed negatively because of my responses–yes, again. I am engaged, just not hopeful. I believe in giving forthright responses whether or not they will be respected, acted upon and taken seriously. "Be glad you have a job" is definitely the common mantra we hear.

Great point! I believe employees gain something just from being asked and the company certainly gains when they discover opportunities that can be corrected.

Great post... same thing can be said for customer engagement. Essentially that a conversation, whether in the form of a survey, a one-on-one session, or a town hall meeting is the beginning of engagement. Conversations are all about two-way exchange. Listening is the beginning. Truly appreciating the feedback is a good start. Taking actions creates the safety zone for employees to contribute again.
