Grapevine is one of the most popular forms of communication within organizations today. In my work, the vine has been around for years, I just never knew it was the name. The grapevine can consist of many things, from hiring to firing. The secrecy and competition that typically prevail in large organizations – surrounding the appointment of new leaders, office relocations, downsizing decisions, or realignment of job assignments – encourages and sustains the rumors that circulate. Christians need to be aware of gossip and rumors and should ensure that they do not promote negativity. Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) states that “let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good unto edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” My organization worked on rumors because, as Fischer indicated, rumors are reduced by effective communication (2009). There were very few people in my department who knew about hiring and firing gossip and rumors. These people along the grapevine knew the information before the information was previously released. Compelling communication also involves electronic communication. Electronic communication has increased over the years. In my organization there are many people who prefer to be contacted electronically. Electronic communication allows people to communicate in a more convenient and different method. Fischer PhD, K.
