If Employee 5 wants to communicate with Employee 9, he must follow the scalar chain in which his information flows from Employee 5,6,7,8, and finally to 9. The same will happen to employee 9, if he wants, it will be through 9,8,7,6 to employee 5. Employees should be given enough time and period to prove his worth to the company Can be applied through probationary 8.
