David Gurteen spotted this post by Esto Kilpi. Kilpi says organisations often mix up confusion with lack of information. (Doing so allows them to avoid conflict)

Many meetings that are directed at the problems of ambiguity fail to handle it because potentially rich views are silenced by autocratic leadership norms that encourage harmony or reluctance to admit that one has no idea what is going on.
