I hope that you saw the new tv show following the Super Bowl on CBS called "Undercover Boss". The idea of the show is that a CEO goes undercover as a new entry level employee at their own company. The CEO gets a chance to see their company from the front lines.
This is a great idea. I think this should be a requirement for all CEOs to do at least once every year to truly stay grounded with the company they are leading. Maybe if CEOs all went undercover, they wound better understand that their decisions over the last few years have taken a major blow to their front line employees.
Most employees that are unhappy are not that way because they are bitter. They are unhappy because they feel that they have no voice. Employees that are the face and voice of the company day in and out, want to believe that the company values their opinions as well as their hard work. Ask anyone who works for a company on the "Best Places to Work" list. I guarantee they will tell you that their company truly values them as an employee.
