Within the restriction that no individual responses to the survey were to be
disclosed to anyone other than the respondent, all of the aggregate data and
findings from the study would be shared with everyone in the unit. Everyone
was to be made aware of the relationship between certain leadership behaviors
and organizational outcomes. Each hourly worker was to be made aware of
how his or her individual opinions compared to that of others in the shop unit
and the plant in general. Each supervisor and manager was to be made aware
of how their leadership was perceived by their followers and how that
compared to their colleagues. This feedback was provided in various written
forms and through a variety of large group and individual feedback sessions
conducted by the consultants and their associates.
