A manager is considering three staff members as possible candidates for a new position. One morning, she asks each of them, in private, whether they might be interested in taking up the post. She also asks them not to discuss the offer with anyone. At a function after work, she is approached by several staff members. They ask her about the new position they have heard about "on the grapevine." What important feature of informal communication channels does this scenario illustrate?
