[单项选择]the belief that good communication between managers and staff will benefit the change
A. For over three decades,academics,managers,and consultants,realizing that transforming organizations is difficult,have analyzed the subject.They’ve sung the praises of leaders who communicate vision and walk the talk in order to make change efforts succeed.They’ve sanctified the importance of changing organizational culture and employees’attitudes.They’ve teased out the tensions between top-down transformation efforts and participatory approaches to change.Still,studies show that in most organizations,two out of three transformation initiatives fail.

However,contrary to popular perception, along project that is reviewed frequently is more likely to succeed than a short project that isn’t reviewed frequently. Thus,the time between reviews is more critical for success than a project’s life span.
