Transparency: If You Can See Through Me Am I Still There?

On April 27 we discussed transparency: If You Can See Through Me Am I Still There? Brief description of show:

The word 'transparency' is getting a lot of airtime lately. But what are the
implications of real transparency at work? Can transparency with employees ever
be achieved in public companies, and does the need to maintain an image and
façade trickle down to the individual leader’s behavior? Even as the concept of
and skills associated with forthright, open dialogue grow in popularity, we
continue to observe a dearth of candor in many of our client organizations.
Straight talk is replaced by withholding, embellishing, or shading the truth and
it saps vitality from organizations while contributing to the deterioration of
trust.

We received this comment:

Andrea and Susan – I just listed to last week's show on transparency. I forwarded it to a client who is discussing transparency as a value for their company but they
couldn't agree upon what it was. I found your discussion and guest very helpful. What I appreciated were the stories and the practical tips you offer. Thanks for doing this. Janet Walker, Ed.D., J. Walker & Associates, Inc.

Weigh in...what is the discussion about transparency in your organization?
