Publisher's summary

In this brief and timely audiobook, best-selling authors and experts in their field look at what conspires against "a culture of candor" in organizations for disastrous results and suggest ways that leaders can achieve healthy honesty and openness.

In three separate essays the authors explore the lightening rod concept of "transparency" which has fast become the buzzword not only in business and corporate settings but in government and the social sector.

The audiobook starts with a preface by Warren Bennis, followed by three essays:

  • The New Transparency
  • Speaking Truth to Power
  • Creating a Culture of Candor

    Very superficial

    I found this book very superficial. I expected more about the topic. Transparency is crucial to organizational culture and deserved a more structured approach.

    Fight against privacy, Ensuring good decisions.

    The book has a lot of information that takes a minute to analyze. As a reader of this detailed book, I would appreciate more care taken with the words and facts. Accentuate the meaningful details with some timely pacing.

    Otherwise, the book was great. The arguments are well thought out and present an interesting perspective on communication within the internet world.

    short and sweet

    Short and sweet with some really good takeaways and things to look into. I took several notes that I plan to go back to.
