Encouraging words said by senior management help to avoid complacency.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)

Common reasons for complacency include too much happy talk from senior management. To stop complacency and create urgency, a manager can talk candidly about the organization's weaknesses compared with competitors, backing up statements with data. Other tactics include setting stretch goals, putting employees in direct contact with unhappy customers and shareholders, distributing worrisome information to all employees instead of merely engaging in management happy talk, and eliminating excessive perks.
