Rick:
Interesting posting. I hear your frustration. As an internal consultant I
have had to collect data anonymously in order to get "good" data. It would
appear that if we have to get information via anonymous sources, in
organizations, then we probably are not working on the right problem. Many
problems may spontaneously solve themselves or at least require much less
energy, if we were able to eliminate the sources of fear first.
