Senior leadership's detachment and infrequent communication can lead to feelings of isolation. 3. Middle management, while dedicated, often appears overwhelmed and under-supported. 4. Persisting remnants of a "don't ask, don't tell" mentality contrast starkly against a growing demand for transparent safety measures. 5.
