Replying to LO350 --

Thanks, C. B. Willis for summarizing so succinctly and eloquently the
destructive power of gossip. You described gossip in exactly the sense in
which I meant it in my post. A problem that needs addressing is that the
gossip mill is often the only venue in organizations for genuine dialogue,
which is then contaminated by the gossip and the habits of gossip. In a
recent team environment I was able to get the team to legislate against
gossip as a ground rule, and one of the most serious sources of conflict
in the group almost vanished almost overnight...
