Step-by-step explanation

Some of the employee inputs that leaders often scoff at when it is important for the leaders to listen include;

• Skill and knowledge. Some leaders tend to often scoff when they hear that employees need continuous training and education that would impart skill and knowledge so as to enable them perform well in their work.
• Leaders scoff at the input that employees can provide in decision-making. Most leaders tend to condescend the ideas and opinions that employees have when it comes to decision-making, this is often due to the perception that the employees may not have the expertise and the experience to make strategic decisions which is not the case.
• Leaders scoff at the employees' need for abundant resources. These are very essential employee inputs that would be able to guarantee employee productivity and hence organizational productivity. Note that most leaders tend to just provide less resources or no resources at all and when they provide sufficient resources they are very stringent on how they should be used. Whilst this could help save resources, it seeks to limit creativity and innovation since employees would not be able to experiment or research with the available resources.
