This lack of communication leads to mistrust and a chapter that can't communicate is looked at more closely, and yes, is more likely to screw up, because they've grown afraid to communicate even the smallest things-- like approving a local event.
OMG THANK YOU ABBEY. That's exactly what I meant. Russ, you're totally twisting what I'm saying - and I think this is yet another "boys and girls are different" issue. Maybe you had bad experiences with advisors, but that absolutely is not the case most of the time.
