The senior management of Reska Corp. realizes the importance of encouraging employees to be creative. In the previous year, the company organized quarterly town hall meetings, where employees were given the opportunity to share innovative ideas to tackle the issues faced by the company and to improve the company’s overall performance. However, this plan did not yield the desired result.
The CEO of Reska Corp.: This plan failed because employees tended to be apprehensive about expressing their ideas in public as they did not know how the ideas would be received. We must change our strategy and give employees the opportunity to express their ideas to their managers in person. This will make the employees feel comfortable expressing their creativity.
Which of the following is assumed by the CEO?
1. Unless the employees of Reska share their creative ideas, the company’s overall performance is unlikely to improve.
2. Companies with a creative workforce are less resistant to change than those lacking creativity.
3. Employees feel less apprehensive about expressing their ideas to their managers than about expressing them in public.
4. Reska’s employees want to be creative at their jobs.
