Self-disclosure: A neglected management skill

Jane Whitney Gibson ; Richard M. Hodgetts Florida International University

Abstract

The importance of effective self-disclosure skills to organizational health and climate is examined. Evidence and reasons for lack of managerial candor are examined, as are the pros and cons of self-disclosure. Managers are urged to set an example of openness, and methods of developing self-disclosure skills are presented. A self-assessment quiz helps readers appraise their current attitudes about organizational candor.
