Abstract/Contents:Discusses communication between employees and employers, explaining that "[superintendents] may think of [themselves] as turf professionals concerned with the latest chemicals, equipment or grasses, but [they] are really in the business of producing a product, the golf course, through people." Suggests that "allowing and encouraging one's staff to talk back is a major step toward ownership and excellence." States that one "must work long and hard to develop a relationship of trust, openness and respect" with one's employer.
