Great post Mary. Much appreciated. I especially like the red flag that you’re not hearing any bad news. Another version of #1 is that you never hear anything you disagree with. If people have freedom of movement, then I’m bound to hear things that I don’t necessarily want to hear. It isn’t just bad news, it’s any idea. Thanks again for the great post! Mike…

When I wrote the question, I was thinking about procedures that could be in place to avoid the flags but also to allow a leader to know problems exist. With the stresses of a leader’s life, avoiding the nagging feeling that something could be missing takes it toll. I like Chad’s suggestions below. They are helpful. I believe having other ongoing processes or groups in place to survey, analyze and assess conditions and potential problems may also be helpful. Being sure relationships are strong and people feel safe to discuss concerns will also avoid that nagging feeling. I am sure there are many other ideas.

Hi Lyn. Thanks for your comments. Re: this comment specifically, what are your initial thoughts?

“I would be interested in a discussion about how to avoid that assumption without looking for problems when none may exist.”

I don’t think I will ever forget the phrase, “diaper genie feedback,” Karin. Perfect! Thanks for commenting.
