Why Your Open Door Policy Isn’t Working

from Leader Feeder by Unique Training & Development Hosted by Unique Training & Development

Your door is open. Your team still isn't walking through it. In this episode of Leader Feeder, Kirk breaks down why the open door policy is one of the biggest myths in manufacturing leadership, and why saying "my door is always open" almost never leads to more communication from your team. If you're a frontline supervisor, line lead, or plant manager trying to get your team to actually bring you problems, questions, and ideas, we think this will help. In this episode: - Why the open door policy fails on the manufacturing floor - The behaviors that build real trust and respect with your team - 3 things to do instead of announcing an open door policy - How to build a team that brings you problems before they become bigger issues
