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.
