Managing Information to Employees
Is giving employees too little information, too late, something I should strive to change as a manager or is this an accepted reality?
Jeriann,
this is a great point & I've found that when we share as much information as we can & the important vision & why information, then employees are willing to accept that there are some things that they just can't know ( & most don't want to know anyway).

In order for an organization, especially a school, to run in the best interest of the customer it is extremely important to give employees as much information as possible without divulging items that can not be shared. Employees are more willing to follow the vision if they are given the information necessary to understand the vision and the reason behind the decisions that are being made. Also when employees are given information they are more willing to complete the tasks that they are being required to accomplish. Open, honest relationships between managers and employees foster better customer service and a better work environment for all parites.

I would definitely say it is something you should strive to change if it is at all within your power/control.
