Strategies for quashing idle gossip in the organization

By Ken Hardin

This article originally appeared on Builder.com’s sister site, TechRepublic.

All managers know they should discourage office gossip—it’s just common sense. But eavesdrop on any after-work get-together and you’ll invariably find a manager indulging in a hushed conversation about who said what to whom at some closed-door meeting, or even worse, who made a pass at the new clerk after a couple of drinks at last week’s get-together.

The only explanation I’ve been able to come up with for why managers turn a blind eye is that many managers just don’t know how much trouble gossip can cause. Warning labels such as “unprofessional,” “unseemly,” and “unproductive” just scratch the surface; gossiping can get you fired or even sued.
