Are you accessible at any time or do you work efficiently?

It sounds great when the manager says that his door is always open for his employees. However, if he truly enacts this permanent availability, he will be struggling with constant interruption and disruption to his work.

Inefficient work and high levels of stress are the result. How can you as an executive be reachable at all times, but not always available to talk?

Interesting article, Bernd. I think the key here is communication on the manager's part, both outbound and inbound--and by inbound I mean that it's vital managers assess the office atmosphere and sample the thoughts and opinions of their employees to get a feel for how things are going. Food for thought, and great post!
