The grapevine is a well-known source for



                               organizational gossip and news.



                     For the inexperienced manager, it’s seen



                                  as a destructive element in an



                      organization’s communication network.



                   But the grapevine isn’t going away. It’s as



                      natural to an organization as water is to



                    an ocean. Astute managers acknowledge



                     the existence of the grapevine and learn



                                      to use it in beneficial ways.
