In Transparency, the authors a powerhouse trio in the field of leadership look at what
conspires against "a culture of candor" in organizations to create disastrous
results, and suggest ways that leaders can achieve healthy and honest openness. They
explore the lightning-rod concept of "transparency" which has fast become the
buzzword not only in business and corporate settings but in government and the social
sector as well. Together Bennis, Goleman, and O'Toole explore why the containment of truth
is the dearest held value of far too many organizations and suggest practical ways that
organizations, their leaders, their members, and their boards can achieve openness. After
years of dedicating themselves to research and theory, at first separately, and now
jointly, these three leadership giants reveal the multifaceted importance of candor and
show what promotes transparency and what hinders it. They describe how leaders often
stymie the flow of information and the structural impediments that keep information from
getting where it needs to go. This vital resource is written for any organization
business, government, and nonprofit that must achieve a culture of candor, truth, and
transparency.
